A stunning contemporary half-plate, 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 inches, daguerreotype of the historic Christian Shefferer House, located on the battlefield in Gettysburg. Created by Allen Phillips, a modern master of the daguerreotype process, this piece captures the timeless beauty and historical significance of the structure.
The house is framed by a white picket fence and dappled shadows of surrounding trees, offering a serene yet evocative representation of the site’s historical resonance. The meticulous detail and luminous quality of the daguerreotype medium emphasize the artistry and craftsmanship of Phillips’ work, bridging the past and present through this traditional photographic technique.
Presented in a black frame with a complementary matte, this piece is perfect for collectors of Gettysburg memorabilia, Civil War history, or contemporary daguerreotypes. A remarkable union of historical subject matter and modern photographic expertise.
