Sixth-plate daguerreotype of a scared little girl in the lap of a hidden / covered adult, who is partially concealed by the use of a "magic background" style vignette.

Dag is UNCASED, as found. It appears to still be sealed, but I have NOT taken it apart to examine the seals any more than what you see in my scan. Image is in very good antique condition... the plate has quite a few random spots of tarnish, but under magnification I see no damage... those lines in the lower-right area appear to be tarnish, not scratches.. they are brown in color... and apart from 1-3 very tiny mold spiders, all of the white specks are just stuck to the underside of the glass.

Shipping: Choice of First Class (well packed mailer) or boxed Priority Mail.
