About This Image

Outstanding artistic American half-plate daguerreotype of a mother and two children. Housed in a full leather case. Found in Ashland, OR. This mother and her two children were clearly well-to-do and posed in their best finery. Mother's dress design and generous sleeves are typical of 1850s fashion.

Most U.S. domestic Fed Ex ground shipping (Media Mail for books) will be a flat $25 charge except for larger and heavier items, or unless the buyer wants express shipping (email us your requests for the latter). International shipping and insurance costs will be added to the price and must be paid for by the buyer. Pennsylvania buyers must pay appropriate local sales tax. International clients are responsible for their local customs duties and taxes, which will be charged by Fed Ex, which will contact the client prior to delivery.
