(Minor tarnishing and scratching around mat opening, very light spotting; original seals.) Case interior with pencil inscription reading, in part, "SW S[h]illin" and "134 Bracket St." -- Together, 2 daguerreotypes housed in Morocco leather-covered push-button cases embossed with the royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom featuring the motto "Diue et Mon Droit."
