5-Day Listing: Original 6th plate daguerreotype, excellentportrait of an armed soldier holding a sword.
Gold painted accents on sword and uniform.
In the bottom-right along the edge you can just
make out his military hat, a shako, I think,
which has crossed sabers insignia and what looks
like a "D", mirrored. When I removed the frame to
clean the glass I saw another painted gold emblem
right above the sabers, but it's hidden by the ...;
mat in normal viewing. There is not much detail
to the hat but the three painted gold insignia
pieces are obvious.
Swipes, small abrasions, and light scratches, as
shown, but a striking military daguerreotype.
Behind glass and mat in full case, covers split
along the spine. The original seals are inside
the case.
Priority or Express Mail (required for international bidders).
