Description
Offered for sale is this mid 19th Century pair of Victorian 'Daguerreotype' photos of children. Daguerreotype was the first publicly available photographic process; it was widely used during the 1840s and 1850s. The daguerreotype is a direct-positive process, creating a highly detailed image on a sheet of copper plated with a thin coat of silver without the use of a negative. The early photos are held in a Bois Durci hinged case with gilded metal shaped frames. The case has embossed decoration and the interior has a velvet insert facing the portraits. The daguerreotypes and case are in good condition.
