Early half plate daguerreotype of a fancy carriage against what looks like the side of a barn. The vehicle has painted decoration and fringe on top. It must have been prized by the owner who apparently wanted a large image of it as a keepsake.
The unsealed image has nice contrast and it is very clear. The dag does have some rubs across it. An obvious one goes across the top of the carriage to the right and showing more prominently on the top right. Also some slight tarnish by the mat edge. However it is a very nice looking image and is a rare subject for a daguerrotype. Housed in a leather "Washington Monument" case with some wear and a repaired hinge.
