DAG 49




Sixth-plate. Unattributed Daguerreotype of a very blond American Gentleman. Excellent contrast & focus. The tonal range and textures of his fine dark clothes are superb. By achieving that.... the handsome face of this young man appears to be somewhat over exposed. It is not, he simply has a very fair complexion. The details are there as my close up shows above. Pale eyes, slightly tinted cheeks, perfectly styled & pomaded blond hair. The clarity is such that you will be able to differentiate the sheen of the silk bow tie from the luster of the satin vest. Very clean. Prof. re-sealed. . Very faint inconsequential buff marks. Housed in a full leather case with crudely repaired hinge. Eyes for hooks are missing. $ 265
Please note: I make every effort to create a scan that mirrors the actual image as close as possible. Viewed on my screen it is as close in color, contrast & sharpness as can be achieved with the equipment at hand. Generally, what you see is inferior to the real thing. All scans are matched to the image when viewed in the light of a 20 watt Halogen reading lamp which sits by my computer. I adjust the controls for accuracy only, NEVER to enhance.
