A touching post mortem portrait of a young child. The talented photographer has created a serene composition with great respect. The beautiful light also contributes to the aesthetic of this image. The small colored flower in the child's hands is a touching detail. A quality example of an early 19th century 6th plate port mortem daguerreotype in a half case.

The image is in good condition. The half case has a sprit edge, not affecting the image.
