Post mortem daguerreotype of a serene baby

The child seems serene with delicately tinted face and flowers against the white of the pillow. In the dark silver background we can see the slats of the back of the chair and its side.

1/6 plate daguerreotype in a book-like "Memory" case with inlaid cover. There is some blond hair behind the plate. [4-]
