| EEW-150. NOT A BASHFUL BOY! He was a charmer while he sat still for a ninth plate dag that tells me the daguerreian probably had to ask repeatedly for his subject's silence so the likeness could be taken. When I lifted off the separated cover of his leather case, a come down from the book style mother of pearl example in his hand, I could feel the lad's energy still radiating off the silver. New seals revealed nice oxidation and a pair of parallel blue lines that are difficult to find. They don't appear to be scratches. Notice the very shallow depth of field that accentuates the child's large eyes and roly-poly face. $135 |
