Description: 1/4 PLATE DAGUERREOTYPE BY ATKINS - BROOKLYN NY - NICE OLDER COUPLE - FULL CASE - In this quarter plate daguerreotype you have nice older couple posed affectionately close together. The silver likeness was most likely captured by Williamsburgh daguerrian, Mr. Joshua Atkins. His studio was established closer to the time this mat would have been used compared to the Boston operator, Nathanial Atkins. The mat is double stamped with "Atkins" identifying them as the artist. The image resides in a full leatherette case with a stunning blue velvet pillow. An overall striking 19th Century cased portrait by a known artist for your collection. Good luck to my lucky winner. CONDITION: Please view my detailed photos for the actual condition of the image and as part of my description. The sixth plate daguerreotype has been resealed with new cover glass. The image contains excellent contrast, tonal range and superb sharpness. Only a few minor imperfections can be seen on the plate, mostly in the upper right corner and one on the gentleman's vest. The case has a nicely restored leather hinge, the working clasp system and gorgeous blue velvet pillow adjacent to their likeness. I will ship this item to the winner by way of Priority Mail.
