Lot Description
[EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY]. A pair of half plate daguerreotypes, highlighted by large group portrait by T.M. Parker, comprising:
Group portrait featuring an older man wearing a medal around his neck, surrounded by seven women, possibly his family. Burlington, VT: T.M. Parker, 1852. (Tarnishing to edges, with some streaking and speckling to plate; loosely resealed.) Housed in a half pressed paper case (general wear). Penciled note behind image reads, "Picture made by T.M. Parker, Burlington, Vermont 1852." -- Seated portrait of an older woman wearing a bonnet. [Burlington, VT]: [T.M. Parker], [1849]. (Tarnishing to edges, streaking and spotting to plate; unsealed.) Housed in a fully separated pressed paper case (fully separated at spine, with some separation to edges and general wear throughout). Note accompanying image identifies subject as "Gr. Gr. Grandmother Day / 1849." The sitter looks very similar to the woman seated to the gentleman's right in the first portrait. -- Together, 2 half plate daguerreotypes. Provenance: The Buckstaff family of Oshkosh, Wisconsin (typewritten note from previous owner).
Daniel Clyde Buckstaff (1859-1935) married Madeline Augusta Noyes (b. 1861), whose grandparents were Russell Day (1789-1832) and Harriet Gardiner Day (1791-1873).
