D06-54. DID THE KID'S BROTHER . . . Cause that mark next to one eye? Certainly the unhappy boy was dragged reluctantly into a daguerreian's space to have an "after the fact" dag taken in ninth plate size. He stared menacingly at the maker while the exposure was done. Aggressive buff strokes disappear when the resealed piece is turned to a good angle of view. Dabs of red were painted on the tyke's cheeks. There is exceptional clarity and contrast. Specks and flecks along with one mat abrasion are on the surface. Two halves of a leather case are included. $150
