D07-92. GOODNESS GRACIOUS! Has an attractive teenager ever been daguerreotyped in a sixth sized dream wearing a more proactively patterned dress? Not only did her maker create a sensational rich and mind bending masterwork, he used a standard vignette technique to embellish the finished jewel. The lass had attractive facial features including freckles and soft lips. Her dark eyes reflected halos of light from a source above and behind the camera. What bold bright hues might have been dyed into the fabric of her costume? When she walked along a street, did heads turn to admire her impressive figure or were they captivated solely by the fashion statement she made? The brilliance beyond the feminine subject is the stupendous range of mid-tones and the deep depth that permits the gal to shimmer inside the manufactured oval. Only that white dot near the sitter's head is as noticeable when her remarkable likeness is appreciated. The remainder of the specks and flecks are reminders of why bad glass must be replaced ONLY if a proper archival seal is completed. There are brief mat marks, upper right. The spine of a fine mother of pearl case featuring flowing flowers and large pieces of pearl is loose but still attached. $885
