D03-38. PLAIN JANE. Having this sixth plate portrait made of herself didn't cause "Jane" to smile, or even crack a grin. All she could do was sit, moping as usual, because nothing was ever exciting in her life. Every day she lived just like the previous one, in order to stay the same. I really don't know if this lady's real name is Jane or Jenny. I do perceive however that she just screams to me, well actually sort of whimpers, that she is a simple woman from the country. She's not pretty, but maybe some gangling guy with mild cataracts would find her suitable for marryin'. After all, didn't she wear her absolutely Sunday best dress to the daguerreian's studio? What could possibly have been attached to that lengthy necklace; the key to her heart. A split case with two birds on a ring is imprinted on the front and back. The retaped surface is in good shape with just three minor black spots. $145
