Man with Plaid Vest Daguerreotype
A well coloured English 1/9 plate daguerreotype of a genial looking man sporting a striped jacket, loud tartan vest, and a mourning ribbon.
This was a recent eBay find which didn't look nearly as good in the seller's pics - consequently I was the only bidder. At the time I was more interested in the unusual mourning ribbon, but the high quality of the tinting has really been a pleasant surprise.
