This exceptional 1850s sixth-plate daguerreotype features a rare gutta percha case and depicts a pretty young woman. The photograph is an original, not a reprint, and is in excellent condition.

The vintage daguerreotype was produced using the daguerreotype process, which was the first publicly available photographic process and was popular in the mid-19th century. The image is matted and framed and comes from the United States. It is a collectible item that would make a great addition to any photographic images collection.
