Unidentified photographer 1852 (ca) Portrait of two young men
Daguerreotype, 1/6 plate Archives of Modern Conflict OR National Gallery of Canada Two young men seated at a table on which a liquor bottle is positioned between them, each holding a half empty glass of the brew. One shows a small pepperbox in his free hand while the other holds a medium sized jackknife in his. This image is more likely of two wannabe tough guys, rather than the real thing. (Matt Isenburg)
