Sixth plate daguerreotype of woman seated next to large yellow-tinted hat, anonymous American ca. 1850. Housed in a half case with missing leather to sides and other damage.   ( Inventory# ib314 )

Glowing like an extraterrestrial object recently landed, the yellow hat rests in its place of honor beside the sitter. She herself has received light blush to cheeks and lips and solid pink color to her ribbon.
