D06-145. BRIGHT RED SHOES! Casey said this must be Dorothy when she was a child in Kansas! Okay, he and we all know that isn't possible but I did get your attention. The squirming babe must have made an unidentified daguerreian uncomfortable. How could he explain to the kid's loving parents that it was impossible to freeze frame movement on his retaped sixth plate dag? Thinking outside the square, he realized if he embellished those slippers with his brightest red pigment, then they would have to purchase the piece. Voila, he guessed correctly, since the tyke's likeness is still with us. There are mat marks in the tarnish and a few white flecks. The boldness of the dress is eye-catching. Only the bottom of a leather case comes with the portrait. $395
