A beautiful sixth-plate daguerreotype features a young boy standing next to an ornately patterned tablecloth, holding a broad-brimmed hat. His plaid shirt, delicately hand-tinted, adds a touch of color to the portrait, emphasizing the precision of 19th-century photographic techniques. His composed expression reflects the formal nature of portraiture during the era.
While unsigned, the table covering in this image is distinctively linked to the Bogardus studio, known for its high-quality work and signature props. This visual clue suggests the portrait was taken by the renowned photographer Abraham Bogardus or at his studio, which was a popular destination for fine portraits in New York during the mid-19th century.
