Father & Son outside, daguerreotype

Sign In to see what this sold for

FATHER AND SON, OUT BACK. They stand holding hands before the rough wooden board fence Way back, we see the out of focus trees. The father has a tall hat, the child a straw one. The image is somewhat light, with wipes and shiny areas. Nevertheless the wonderful tender character lures us to fight through the obstacles to appreciate what remains of this great daguerreotype. 1/6 plate in double elliptical mat, case with silk pad, cover with geometric pattern just hanging on.
