Sixth plate daguerreotype portrait of a man proudly posing with a white horse, likely a prized possession or working animal. The man stands upright in a formal stance, wearing a brimmed hat and dark suit, with one hand holding the lead and the other resting calmly at his side. The horse appears unusually light in tone, its distinctive mane and markings suggesting careful grooming, and its pose unusually composed for a live animal exposure of the period.

The setting appears to be an outdoor space with soft natural light and a neutral background, allowing the horse and handler to stand out in crisp detail. Images featuring horses in daguerreotype format are uncommon due to the technical difficulty of photographing animals with long exposure times. The result is a rare and evocative image, frozen in time, emphasizing the pride and partnership between man and animal. Housed in a full pressed-paper case with a geometric sunburst design.
