Mother and Child
SOLD May 2002 |
French quarter plate daguerreotype ca. 1850 or a French mother with her child. Housed in passe-partout style mount with restored front glass and fragmentary period label.
The female sitter wears an interesting cap reminiscent of the 1920s. A fragmentary label passed down with the image gives a street address and related information but unfortunately lacks the photographer's name.
