Sleeping Babe
SOLD November 2005 |
Sixth plate daguerreotype of happy mother holding a gently dozing baby, anonymous American ca. 1850. Housed in a full leather and pressed paper case.
This luminous, crisp image is the sort of daguerreotype which gives most collectors their first impetus towards collecting.
