A quarter plate daguerreotype capturing a sister and her younger brother in a standing pose. The young girl, styled with neat curls, holds three books under her right arm, embodying an air of poise. Her younger brother stands beside her, gripping a toy musket, adding a playful yet formal touch to the composition. The plain backdrop highlights the sharp details of the subjects, and the feet of the posing stand are subtly visible behind them, a testament to period photographic techniques. The image is in excellent condition and comes housed in its original case, lined with velvet. Stamped on the case mat: "Ennis Gallery, 106 Chestnut St., Philadelphia," confirming its provenance.
