Daddy's Girl by Babbitt
SOLD October 2009 |
Sixth plate daguerreotype of a standing man holding a little girl in his arms, by Lewis Babbitt, Worchester, Massachusetts, ca. 1855. Housed in a full leather case.
An unusual and spontaneous image.
Condition: A very small and faint "finger-point" brush mark in upper right corner, a few mat abrasions.
Due to abrasions around the mat opening the original mat, which bears the photographer's imprint "L. Babbitt," has been replaced with a mat having a slightly narrower opening. The original mat is retained in case behind the image.
