A sixth plate daguerreotype showcasing a tender moment between a young girl and her mother, accompanied by a cheerful doll. The image beautifully captures the warmth of their relationship, with the girl's smile mirrored by the expression on her doll's face. The mother, dressed in period attire, gazes lovingly at her daughter, adding to the overall sentiment of the piece. The daguerreotype is housed in a well-preserved case, with the delicate details and tones characteristic of this early photographic process. This image is unsealed and the plate has some dings.
