Lovely Young Woman, 1/9 Plate Daguerreotype Portrait, c. 1850s
This Daguerreotype depicts a lovely young woman, in formal dress with lace cuffs and a cross brooch/necklace.
I do not have an exact date for this piece but based on the process and fashion, I believe this piece to have been produced in the 1850s.
This piece consists of the Daguerrotype, board backing, glass, and brass/copper mat and border. This image is not in a case.
The Daguerreotype is one of the first photographic processes popular during the 1840s-50s. The image is created on a silver plated sheet of copper and the image shifts from a positive to a negative image depending on the angle at which it is viewed. Because of the history, precious gem-like appearance and the ephemeral nature of the image itself, the Daguerreotype is one of my very favorite photographic processes.
