Sixth-plate daguerreotype of a proud grandfather, elegantly appointed, posing with his slightly pugnacious-looking granddaughter. His arm rests around her waste. Both have meticulously groomed hair. His white shirt and handkerchief are slightly solarized, appearing to have a sky blue tint. Image was resealed with P90 archival tape by Casey Waters in 2012, as indicated on the back of the plate. Inside the case, behind the plate, are a lock of the girl’s brown hair and remnants of the original seal. Plate condition: Clear and bright. Spots visible at certain angles. Case: Full leather case in excellent condition with spine intact. Please see my other listings. I intend to post fresh material – mostly daguerreotypes and ambrotypes – weekly. Keywords: Daguerreotype, ambrotype, cute kids, character study, cased image, 6th.
