1. | ![]() | Unidentified photographer 1854 Wetmore sisters Daguerreotype, 1/2 plate Private collection of Nelson Anderson A historical footnote relates the following about this image: This half plate daguerreotype is of sisters Harriet Cooper Wetmore, Born 10 July 1828 and Cornelia Brower Wetmore, Born 11 September 1832 both of New London, Connecticut. This image was taken in 1854 just one year prior to Cornelia's (right) marriage to Richard Haven Chapell of the same city. He was a ships merchant and was among the first to sail into the newly purchased Alaskan territory to harvest fur seals in the 1860's. The clarity [of the original] is so good you can clearly see that Harriet had a rather severe case of acne! Original image is restored and enhanced at the request of the owner, Nelson Anderson (Flickr/Inferno55). |
