CD. TWO ON THE SAME DAY. I wonder if her parents weren't happy with the first resealed sixth plate the daguerreotypist presented to them or was he a shrewd operator and convinced them a second one would be equally lovely? He placed them in identical leather cases with unadorned red silk pads inside. They are worn and the hinges are separated. I was thinking that if I studied the little girl's face carefully I might determine which portrait was taken first. You know, she might have been relaxed the second time. The difference in her poses is negligible! When she wore her hat with the long ribbons and the cute jacket she tilted her head to the right while watching the maker. While wearing her pretty dress alone, the lass angled her head differently but still kept a similar expression on her face. Notice her hands. The one cupping the end of the chair's arm remained stationary during both exposures but her other one moved twice. She also nodded her head. The man behind the camera added a golden ring for one likeness and he painted the sash around her waist pale pink in the second effort. Both images have fine reflected depth. Heavy oxidation is in the lower corners and to a lesser extent around the gal in the shapes of the mats. A couple mold mites and teeny mat marks might be seen on each offering. $695 for the pair
