| EEW-119. SHAKIN' ALL OVER! Hey, I'm NOT making sport of the elderly woman who wore her mop cap and was bundled up so she didn't catch a chill while she visited a local daguerreian to have this remarkable resealed quarter plate dag taken. Certainly, if any of us reach her exalted age we might also have difficulties sitting still for the few seconds that were required to transfer her image on to the perfectly polished surface that is still vibrant after all these years. Patina peeks out from under the decorative brass mat in places on the excellent example. The operator bathed his ancient subject in remarkable light, which revealed the character lines in her face and also sculpted her clothing. He applied a bit of red rouge to those broad cheeks. The bottom of a worn leather case remains to hold the holographic portrait that has remarkable tonality and contrast. $465 |
