A rare and poignant ninth plate horizontal daguerreotype capturing the serene visage of a young woman in a post-mortem portrait. The painterly quality of the image reflects the meticulous artistry of mid-19th-century daguerreotypists, who approached such portraits with great care and reverence. The subject is presented with a soft, ethereal glow, emphasizing her peaceful expression and the solemnity of the moment. The composition is intimate and reflective of Victorian-era mourning practices, offering a glimpse into the period’s cultural attitudes toward death and memory.
