#11180 1/6 Daguerreotype, handsome man holding a rolled-up piece of paper
Sixth plate (2.75" by 3.25") daguerreotype of a very handsome man holding a rolled-up piece of paper. He seems to have a slight smile. Incredible back drop, according to a fellow dealer who has seen the same backdrop, this was taken by MORRIS MOSES of Trenton NJ. Housed in an excellent Union Case (BERG #1-116 The Deer and the Pine Tree [S]). One small chip on the hinge side, see all the scans below.
CONDITION: The re-silvered plate is in excellent condition. I have resealed the image with a new glass, archival polyester film and Filmoplast P90.
