Sixth plate daguerreotype. Matted with preserver in original embossed leather case with the original cut velvet inside the front cover. Image has been lightly professionally cleaned and resealed, with note on the rear of the seal noting that fact. Image size approximately 3" x 3". Image is about fine; rubbing and the hinge of the case has been professionally restored, very good. A nicely composed image of an elderly unidentified Native American woman with her hair down, and an intricate collar or necklace, seated next to a young girl who stands holding a potted plant. The collars, the apron and cheeks of the young girl, and the the plant, are nicely tinted, mostly in pink, and with the stem of the plant in green. Our date suggested by the mat, preserver, and case on the dag, While otherwise unidentified, the subject suggests this was taken somewhere in the Southwest. Rare subject. Seller Inventory # 588305
