Description
DAGUERREOTYPE. PAINTING OF A YOUNG WOMAN. 1/6 plate daguerreotype. This 1840's daguerreotype is astonishing. The woman's dark bodice and the dark curtain that divides the image diagonally give this a fascinating modernist feeling, enforced by the light coloring. The subject's face is open and appealing. The interior of the full case has a rare label for William Shew at the Corner of Court & Howard Streets, Boston, This label confirms the early date. The image is not just unusual for the period, but directly addresses us today. Resealed.
