Large Post Mortem Daguerreotype Last of 14 Children

Item Details

Description

A poignant and historically significant large post mortem daguerreotype, depicting Charles Anna Gibbons, the last of 14 children born to William and Elizabeth Gibbons. Accompanied by a heartfelt note revealing the tragic circumstances of her short life, this daguerreotype serves as a somber yet poignant memento mori, offering a glimpse into the lives and losses of families in the 19th century.

Note:

"The 14th Child of William and Elizabeth Gibbons, Named Charles Anna because they wanted a boy. She died in infancy & is about to be buried."

Description of the Daguerreotype:

The large post mortem daguerreotype captures the delicate features of Charles Anna Gibbons, a tender reminder of a life cut short in infancy. Her peaceful repose belies the sorrow of her parents, who named her Charles Anna in a poignant tribute to their unfulfilled hopes for a son. The daguerreotype preserves her memory for posterity, immortalizing her innocence and the enduring love of her family.
