1/6 DAGUERREOTYPE, THE MÜLLER STRING QUARTET.

The identification is provided on a modern paper that accompanies the image. This is most likely the second of the great German quartets of this name. An interesting history is given at http;//www.geocities.com/blackbeardian/Longbeards/glmuller.html. The quartet traveled widely in Europe, and probably came to the US. The identifying paper that came with this indicates "Sacramento," and the daguerreotype was found in California.

This is an unusually intimate portrait of these family members further united in their artistic work, as the string quartet involves an extreme rapport among the members. 1/6 plate, sealed, in full case with silk pad, original spine. [4-]
