Description
[EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY]. Half plate daguerreotype featuring a multi-generational family posed outdoors.
Striking group portrait of a family presumably including grandparents, parents, and children, all but the two youngest subjects standing together on a patch of grass and adjacent brick pavement. The two youngest children sit on the grass in front of the rest of the group. Foliage and a pillar or obelisk of some sort can be seen in the background. (minor tarnishing/spotting to plate, no preserver present; plate cleaned, reglazed, and resealed 2008.) Housed in a leatherette case (surface wear).
Modern note on replaced seal attributes the image to Frederick Langenheim and notes the daguerreotype comes from "a Philadelphia Estate."
This lot is located in Cincinnati.
