mid-19th-century sixth plate daguerreotype featuring a father and two young children. The charming composition showcases one child in a pink dress holding a delicately hand-tinted pinwheel, adding a vibrant touch to the piece. The father’s presence behind the children enhances the familial connection and provides a sense of warmth and intimacy. The image is set in an ornate, partially intact union case with intricate detailing and a red velvet pad. The daguerreotype retains remarkable clarity and detail, capturing the fine attire and tender expressions of its subjects.
