Original 1/4 plate daguerreotype of seven women and girls, four sharing open books, the two in the middle with beaded purses around their wrists. If I look carefully I think I can see the top edge of the plain cloth backdrop, and possibly a wall paper pattern behind that.
Some mostly minor issues, including the area of corrosion specks in the lower-left and some small mat abrasions near the left and bottom edges of the mat, it's possible they can all be hidden if the mat is adjusted and sealed. No swipes or scratches anywhere on the people.. very short and light swipe in the background, above their heads, by the top edge of the backdrop. I took pics from all angles to hopefully capture all issues, but if you have any questions ask before committing to purchase. Case is complete and intact with no repairs.
