A sixth plate daguerreotype featuring a striking portrait of a young boy captured in profile, gazing thoughtfully into the distance. The boy is dressed in a dark jacket with a crisp white collar, evoking the fashion and formality of the mid-19th century. The piece will look fantastic with new glass. The image showcases fine details, including the subtle texture of his attire and the soft light on his face. Housed in its original case with a decorative brass mat and velvet lining, the daguerreotype displays some tarnishing and spotting typical of its age, which do not detract from its overall charm.
