Opening: $350 Hammer Price: $350 SOLD Skylight Gallery 35 March 2013

Stunning sixth plate daguerreotype of a woman holding child at window by Nichols, circa 1855. Housed in a full Jenny Lind case, albeit one in poor condition. Brass mat stamped "NICHOLS" lower right.   ( Inventory# id588f3 )

I do no know which of the many daguerreotypists called Nichols produced this image, but it's a very skillful one.

See companion image with same sitters offered in the following lot.

No damage to image noted, some dust under glass.
