Unidentified Boy (United States, 1858-59)


Figure 1.--This American boy looks to be about 6 years old. It is difficult to make out just what he is wearing. It looks like it might be a vest over a shirt or jacket. He also has a small white collar which may be part of a shirt waist, but it is difficult to tell. The portrait is undated, but looks to be the early 1850s. Dags are very difficult to date. The portrait is a one-sixth plate cased daguerreotyp.
