| Unidentified photographer Locomotive "Vermont" at a crossing (detail) n.d. Daguerreotype, 1/4 plate Larry Gottheim, Be-hold, Inc Courtesy of Larry Gottheim (Auction: Feb 21, 2008, 51, part 1 / lot 10) LL/27041 + plate shows good detail of the locomotive stopped at the crossing, with the engineer posed beside the cab, and another worker to the right of the stack. A sign across the street reads "Rail Road Crossing Look Out For The Engine While The à. ings." Some people stand on a railing at the very right the station? A house of the town is at the left. The signs read correctly because this is a copy daguerreotype made by the daguerreotypist with rich detail and clarity.
