Item Details
Description
Captivating closeup daguerreotype of a U.S. Navy Captain. Immediately one feels his epaulets and buttons are tinted gold, but it's an illusion. The execution was so masterful that we feel we're face to face with this fellow!

Brass mat reads: "McClees" and "Phila." Note behind: "From estate sale Little Rock (Arkansas) 1996."

JAMES EARLE McCLEES was at several addresses in Philadelphia all through the Daguerreian Era starting in 1844. He is also known for his partnership with Germon (source: Directory of Philadelphia Photographers 1839-1900, by Linda A Ries & Jay W. Ruby).
