D02-63. SO PLEASANT. The teenager visited a daguerreotypist in her town and sat for a well-made sixth plate portrait that has been retaped. The maker achieved excellent contrast and deep depth. He very attentively tinted the gal's flesh tones and paid particular attention to color all her jewelry with gold paint. She was completely isolated in space because he used the black drop and precise lighting. There are a few blue spots and a couple mold spiders, along with dark oxidation. The young woman is held in the bottom of a leather case. $210
