Item Overview

Description

CHILD BESIDE CHAIR, 1/6 plate daguerreotype by Whitney. Sealed to an oval mat stamped Whitney. There were two daguerreian masters with this name: Edward Tompkins Whitney, of Rochester NY, and Joel Emmons Whitney, of St. Paul, Minn. I think this stamped identification was associated with Joel Emmons, but I'm not certain. In any case this is a brilliantly rich and unusually posed portrait. The chair, wine-colored, is not a typical studio chair. In a half case.
