Description
A rare and remarkable early quarter plate daguerreotype capturing the genuine smile of an identified older Dutch grandmother, likely taken in New York City during the early 1840s.

Her warm smile reflects a lifetime of wisdom, kindness, and resilience, making her presence feel all the more tangible across the years. The clarity and detail achieved in this daguerreotype, despite the technical challenges of the era, stand as a testament to the skill and artistry of the photographer.
