D03-116. ONE DIDN'T FLINCH. There were only so many tricks a parent could use to calm a hyper and excited child (or possibly scared as we have seen in some of the tiny tot's expressions). This 2 year old just wouldn't cooperate. Consequently, after the dag man admonished the mother, she gave him a cold hard stare while he uncovered the lens. Maybe her husband had demanded that she return with at least one sixth plate of the pair. Was this the only successful one? The maker splashed red on the ribbons of the child's dress and tinted their flesh tones. Nice oxidation suggests that the resealed surface wasn't cleaned in this century, if ever. The paper seals, which Casey placed in the bottom of the leather case, look very ancient. The spots you see are magnified by the detailed scan. $215
