Daguerreotypes have a very magical presence due to the technique and material employed- a thin, reactive layer of silver is applied to a copper sheet and polished until it glows with a mirror like shine, which is then exposed and developed as a single, unique direct positive print. With no film negative, this guy can never be reproduced exactly as he is! This photo is just about as unique as the person it depicts: one of a kind and full of secrets and stories. This portrait is nestled into an embossed leather keepsake frame with a latch. Spine shows signs of repair. Inquire for additional photos.
