Ninth-plate daguerreotype, a great affectionate pose of woman and her daughter, out of a Missouri estate.
This had its original seals intact when I received it but I removed them to clean the underside of the glass. The broken seals are behind the image.
Dag has some tarnish spots. they are white in my scan but brown in color when viewed at an angle so they are very possibly cleanable by a knowledgeable restorer, in my experience.... however, I have not attempted to clean this plate in any way. There are also one or two specks of green corrosion, but no swipes or scratches. overs are separated.
