Description
Slave Nursemaid 1/6th Plate Daguerreotype. Early portraits just don't come any better than this nearly pristine image. A serene young black woman in a gingham dress poses with her master's baby and his little girl. A classic antebellum family grouping that is all the more effective on account of the image's clarity, depth and even surfaces. Some small scratches along the photograph's left edge next to the mat, else amazingly free of the abuses usually found on daguerreotypes. The light brown leatherette case is likewise in great shape having only minimal wear.Auction Info
