Sixth-plate daguerreotype of three girls, possibly a young mother and her daughters.
The youngest girls have very lightly tinted (or faded) pink dresses; the mom is wearing painted gold earrings and necklace.
I cleaned the glass and resealed with archival tape. The glass is very thick!
There are a few small mat abrasions.. I can't see them unless I'm looking for them under magnification. Tarnish ring. A few small bubble imperfections in the glass. No swipes, corrosion or dings.
Full case, separated, but matching and original covers. Some wear and paper loss to the covers, mostly to the spine, but not extreme.
Shipping: First Class, well-packed mailer. Boxed & insured Priority Mail is also available at checkout.
