D5-97. ONE POSE ONLY. I wonder if the mystery maker allowed any of his subjects to sit in a different fashion when they had their sixth plate portraits taken? As the young couple moved in front of the camera, he probably told them what to do, checked the light and made the image. His ability was above average. He even tinted their flesh tones. They are enclosed with a wide band of tarnish and a couple of brown spots are anchored in the backdrop. Once the brittle paper seals were broken and the old glass was removed, the couple gave an audible sigh. They could be seen in all their regal country splendor. New seals and glass secure them for the future. The half leather case is common. $145
