| D09-0K. THOSE PALE . . . Green eyes were wide open while the gorgeous young female concentrated away from the obvious place to look (into the lens) and dreamily rose to another level in her mind while being daguerreotyped in quarter size that was placed under a larger than normal oval brass mat. When her unusual leather case, with a plain pebbled finish on both sides is opened the striking full-figured woman is revealed for all to admire. Her operator situated that large book under her elbow to permit the lass to comfortably place her lovely fingers perfectly composed against her freckled chin. How many hours did the damsel spend coiling her red tresses, then slipping into layers of under garments before pulling on her fantastically sewn white blouse and finally finishing with an elaborate open bodice dress? Soft light bathed the beautiful poser whose flesh tones and lips were expertly tinted. A blue pigment was selected for that tablecloth. Natural patina and the drop off of the illumination forces the focus of our attention solely upon her. Honestly, who would want to look anywhere else? Although the purple silk pad opposite the subject is faded there truly is daguerreian magic when the holographic archivally taped effort is studied. One large mold spider is next to the chair in the tarnish and there is a minuscule green dot in the white decay upper left. $1,500 |
