| EEW-140. FADED GLORY. Although the older woman's ninth plate English daguerreotype has deteriorated some, the fact that she was taken close up then delicately hand tinted outweighs the original aging flaws. Her operator used three light sources that are reflected in the woman's dark brown eyes. The even illumination was effective because he asked his client to turn her head away from the lens. If only she had placed the lace vale over her attractive face! Resealed by a previous owner, the likeness is kept in the bottom of a wine colored pigskin leather case that had a top hinge. $110 |
