[ Photographs ] (Cased Images) Portraits Pair of sixth-plate daguerreotypes of sisters, the first a portrait of 2 belles seated side-by-side in beautifully detailed, brilliant white summer frocks and with their arms entwined; the second a graceful French portrait of 2 young girls dressed identically from their floral print dresses to their jewelry, and seated holding hands; both with delicate hand tinting and gold highlights; the first in a half leather case, the second in a gold frame with passe- partout and a black linen surround. Early and middle 1850s E1200-1800 The sisters in the French daguerreotype are wearing identical porcelain brooches, each with a painting of a classical figure. One of the girls also holds a card-the purpose of which is unclear.
