Product Description

PD22: 1842c Early 6th Plate of a Squinting/Solarized Man In A Rare Early Oval Mat Within An Attractive Green Silk Case and Early Hand Stamped Scovills Hallmark:

Sits in an early plain intersecting line whole case with cross hatching. Case is intact and has a green silk pad. I have only seen this rare mat on one other daguerreotype which dated to either 1839 or early 1840. Scovills only hand stamped (non-uniform letter by letter) their plates during their 1st few years of production.
