American sixth plate daguerreotype of two girls posed arm-in-arm and holding white flowers, 1840s. In half case.   ( Inventory# gb27 )

This crisp and poignant image of two little girls demonstrates again that elaborate props are unnecessary to the moving expression of emotions. On the most minor of scattered tarnish on this little gem, faint tinting to lips and cheeks.
