Description
A poignant sixth plate daguerreotype capturing a tender moment of grief and remembrance, depicting a post-mortem child resting on a pillow in their mother's lap, with tinted flowers adorning the child's lap. In this touching image, preserved with remarkable clarity by the daguerreotype process, the mother's sorrow is palpable as she cradles her departed child, surrounded by a serene atmosphere enhanced by the delicate tinting of the flowers. The itinerant photographer's studio setting or possibly the family's home adds a sense of intimacy to the scene, inviting viewers to empathize with the mother's profound loss and solemn mourning.
