Ninth-plate daguerreotype of a young woman marking a page in a book. This was recently found in a St. Louis, Missouri estate. The dag is behind mat and cover glass in a full case ,with its original seals intact. Not sure the case covers go together but this is how it was found. The dag is in excellent condition.. note that the V-shaped mark in the lower-right is not an abrasion but a scratch on my scanner glass.
