A lot of four sixth plate daguerreotypes of women, each preserved in full cases. One of the daguerreotypes is particularly noteworthy, as it is identified on the mat with the name "Gilchrest" and features a portrait of Elisebeth Pellitiers, a member of the family that constructed a historic house in Tilton, New Hampshire. These daguerreotypes offer a glimpse into the lives and fashion of women in the 19th century, with the identified portrait adding a layer of historical significance. The cases are in good condition, making this collection a valuable addition for collectors of early photography and historical memorabilia.
