    Description

    1/6 PLATE DAGUERREOTYPE - MAN WEARING SPECTACLES - IN BEAUTIFUL CASE BY BOGARDUS -
    A rare offering of a sixth plate by the renown operator Abraham Bogardus. In this fine portrait, the intelligent presence is witnessed through the spectacles most likely necessary for the daily tasks of his occupation. A bold effort I might add, with direct eye contact and no reflections...a true testament to an experienced Daguerreian. The gentleman has a very distinctive face and finely groomed hair. The interior of the case has a coveted green velvet plush adjacent to his likeness. Note: The location stamped on the exterior of the case is confirmed on John Craig's Daguerreian Registry as being Bogardus studio of operation from 1849 and 1851. A truly remarkable sixth plate for any advanced collector of these fine silver mirrors with memory. Good luck to my winning bidder.
    CONDITION
    :
    Please view my detailed photos for the actual condition of this cased image and as part of my description. The sixth plate has been resealed with P90 archival tape and a new sheet of glass applied. Again bold contrast, wonderful tonal range and expert sharpness are all attributes of this effort. The plate itself is in nearly mint condition, with only a few minor spots clearly seen from my listing photos. The case has a nicely restored leather hinge, the rarely seen green velvet pillow and both working latches remain present. A strong portrait of a learned gentleman by an expert in the craft of the Daguerreian process. I will carefully ship this item to the winning bidder by way of Priority Mail.
