LL/13017
W. & F. Langenheim
1845 (ca)
Portrait of a gentleman

Daguerreotype, 1/4 plate
Christopher Wahren Fine Photographs

In full case with split spine, case pad impressed "W. & F. LANGENHEIM / PHILADA."
 
The work of the Langenheims is highly sought after, both for their historical importance and for its inherent quality. With a brash and a fresh spirit, they present this young Philadelphian as almost a pioneer.
 
In superb condition with blush tinting to cheeks and what appears to be brown on his beard. Some tiny abrasions which may be original to production of the image.
