Unidentified photographer
n.d.
"Keepsake" with sixth plate Daguerreotype (English)

Daguerreotype, 1/6 plate
Stereographica - Antique Photographica
Courtesy of Bryan and Page Ginns (#15 / 116)
 
One side of the case holds a lovely tinted portrait of an attractive young woman, the other side holds a lock of her braided hair. Resealed and housed in a full leather quarter plate, push button case. A very unusual combination presumably done to present to her husband or sweetheart.
