Opening: $80 Hammer Price: $130 SOLD Skylight Gallery 16 February 2003

Ninth plate horizontal daguerreotype of two women, anonymous American, 1850s, with applied blush coloring. In full case with separated spine.   ( Inventory# ia190 )

Considering that this is precisely the size of daguerreotype which were frequently offered by operators at two for 25 cents, we can imagine each of these woman departing with their own small photographic token of the sitting.
