A half plate daguerreotype of two young brothers, one seated with his younger sibling posed behind him. The photograph, attributed to Cary of Savannah, Georgia, bears the photographer's name embossed on the red velvet interior of the case. The boys' clothing is meticulously detailed, highlighting the artistry of the daguerreotype process. The image is housed in a leather push-button case, though the hinge is broken. A rare Southern portrait, this piece is a fine example of mid-19th-century photography and craftsmanship.
