LL/11412
Unidentified photographer
1850 (ca)
Portrait of three man

Daguerreotype, 1/6 plate
Archives of Modern Conflict OR National Gallery of Canada
Three men wearing heavily stained work aprons. Upon closer examination, their clothes are well tailored and the fellow in the center seems to have smooth hands that do not quite match his apron. Are these tradesmen or craftsmen dressed in their "Sunday best" with their work aprons added as a statement, or did they borrow aprons for the group portrait? (Matt Isenburg)
