A stunning quarter plate daguerreotype featuring a young boy dressed in traditional Scottish attire. The portrait captures the boy’s serious expression, contrasted by the vibrancy of his hand-tinted clothing. He wears a tartan sash and kilt, complete with a sporran and feathered bonnet, and stands beside a patterned tablecloth, adding depth and elegance to the composition. His rosy cheeks, vividly hand-tinted, reflect the skillful enhancement typical of high-quality daguerreotypes.

The image is housed in its original protective case with an ornate brass mat, showcasing the craftsmanship both in photography and presentation.
