Beautiful HALF PLATE Tinted Daguerreotype of Cute Siblings Boy & Girl waltz with a few missing beadsOriginal 1850s half plate daguerreotype of a little boy and girl with beautiful original hand tinting. Behind a heavy double mat and cover glass in a pebbled leather push button case that is about 6" x 4. 5" when closed. There is an ID written in the case for a baby named William Sheldon Boardman, who was born and died in 1863. Obviously not one of these children but very possibly a relative. The dag is in very good or excellent antique condition with
