Unidentified photographer 1850 (ca) Portrait of a gentleman wearing a work apron (Detail)
Daguerreotype, 1/6 plate Archives of Modern Conflict OR National Gallery of Canada The thinness of the profiles distinguishes the lockets from being watch cases which are quite a bit thicker. Also the one lying open on the wooden slab shows the typical empty frame with grey paper backing awaiting its image. (Matt Isenburg)
