Original 6th plate daguerreotype of a man who appears to be holding a book in one hand, seated next to a table with another book on it. The curved object by his other hand might be the head of a cane? No ID; out of a Wisconsin estate.
My scan didn't come out great, but the image is very sharp, and clear, despite the dirty glass.
Original seals intact; full, complete case, intact with no repairs. The underside of the glass needs a good cleaning, but other than a light tarnish ring, the dag itself appears completely undamaged.
