The sitter in this 1850 daguerreotype is unidentified, and the record's title breaks off mid-word after "thre," so the full description is lost. Each daguerreotype is a unique image fixed on a polished silver-coated copper plate, and it shows its picture best when tilted away from the viewer's reflection. By the 1850s, portraits like this had become affordable to many middle-class families, though sitters still had to hold very still for seconds in strong light. Many such plates survive without names, so the face itself is often the main record left.
