D06-171. THE EXPANSIVE TIE. The gentleman knew how to dress for a sixth plate dag. He also excelled with a comb. Which might be surprising since his pale toned forehead and darker facial complexion strongly suggests that he wore a hat much of the time he spent outdoors. He certainly had lots of freckles! The operator was successful in separating his dark jacket and hair from the backdrop. In fact, the scheme of illumination from high above on the right side was quite impressive. The plate has deep depth and many teeny specks and flecks on the resealed surface. A fine leather case with a horizontal lyre theme completes the offering. $125
