Quarter plate daguerreotype of bearded man with leonine coiffure, anonymous American ca. 1855. Housed in brown leather pushbutton case with some wear.   ( Inventory# ia540 )

A flowing mane of hair protrudes out over this gent's spiffy new coat. His hairdo was certainly not grown at Boston-area tearoom soirees. A classic view of the American frontiersman.
