Woman with a Message
SOLD March 2004 |
Sixth plate daguerreotype of woman in bonnet holding a note?, anonymous American ca. 1845. In original 1840s-style floral leather case with partially separated spine. Light tinting to cheeks.
Although the object held by this woman is not clearly in focus, she is clearly posing with a purpose, and one supposes that she is holding a note or letter with some significance in her life.
