1/4 daguerreotype of two little girls wearing matching, homemade dresses, the younger holding several flowers, the older holding a long-stemmed flower. It probably moved a bit during the shot so it's hard to make out, but one leaf can be seen over her wrist, and the petals are up closer to her dress sleeve.

Both are wearing necklaces, and the older girl is wearing gold hoop earrings. Young girl looks quite sad.. I wonder what the occasion was?

Dag is in half of a case. It is in undamaged condition with tarnish ring and random tarnish spots. I have resealed it with archival tape.
