Brother and Sister 1/6 plate daguerreotype, dated Oct 1848 in period pencil in the case. The girl and her younger brother have their arms entwined. She wears a long-sleeved, plaid dress with smocking at the waist, a long, narrow white ribbon around her neck, drop earrings, and a fancy comb in her hair. Her brother wears a black three-piece suit with a white shirt and a bow tie. The unruly wisp of hair over his ear and the
expression on his face make him appear ill at ease.
The plate has scattered mold spiders and spots.
Full case.
