This ninth plate daguerreotype features a standing young child wearing a patterned dress with hand-applied tinting to the cheeks. The child is posed beside a covered table and looks directly toward the camera. The image displays good contrast and detail with some scattered spots and age-related tarnish visible around the edges.
The daguerreotype has been resealed and is housed in a leather-covered case with a velvet pad. The case appears to have mismatched front and back covers, likely paired together at some point in its history. The front cover features a floral and scrolling vine design, while the reverse displays a small floral motif. The original mat and preserver are present. The case shows wear consistent with age and use, and the hinges remain intact.
