| Unidentified photographer Boy with daguerreotype viewer n.d. Daguerreotype, 1/6 plate Larry Gottheim, Be-hold, Inc Courtesy of Larry Gottheim - Be-Hold (49 / 4) LL/18519 The boy, possibly the daguerreotypist's son, holds a case with an inlay design. There's another case on the table. There is a framed magnifier on a stand, under which a plate is placed, so the image appears on the magnifier surface. This is a rare device that I've never before seen depicted in a daguerreotype. (Larry Gottheim)
