Description

A daugerreotype of a woman, ca. 1860s. The portrait shows the thirty-ish woman with her hands folded on her lap. She wears a lighter-colored dress with black piping down the center of the front and along the sleeves and waist area. She wears a brooch at the center of a white collar. The case is black with a gold-colored velvet liner and a gold frame and has been held together with electrical tape. With significant case damage so that the image is loose, though the image is very clear, the overall condition is good.
