[EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY]. 11 assorted daguerreotypes of men.
Quarter plate seated portrait of a full-figured middle-aged man with an unfortunate haircut. (Some tarnishing to edges, clouding to plate, glass weeping, spotting to mat and preserver; original seals.) Housed in a fully separated pressed paper case (split at spine, surface wear and loss, discolored satin pad). -- Sixth plate likely European portrait of a younger man seated casually, with one arm draped over the top rail of the chair. He wears a slightly haughty expression and a large neck tie. (Bits of tarnishing to edges, clouding/soft focus to plate, spotting to mat, no preserver present.) Housed in a leatherette case (nearly fully separated at spine, surface wear). -- And 9 others, including one quarter plate example, 5 sixth plate examples, one ninth plate example, and 2 sixteenth plate examples. Conditions vary, but most fair with some clouding. -- Together, 11 daguerreotype portraits of men.
