Antique Daguerreotype Photo of Victoria Era Woman, w/ Poem & Signature
Gorgeous mid-1800s 6th plate Daguerreotype, with pressed leather cover. "6th plate" refers to the size of the image, meaning it was 1/6th of the full sized plates used for Daguerreotypes. This one features a young woman, with the unusual inclusion of her name, which is hand-written, and verse from a poem by Thomas Moore. In very nice antique condition. 3.75"H x 3.25"W (each panel, total width 6.5"), $145
