New Arrival...
This 6th plate daguerreotype of an elderly man from Kansas just arrived today. It is stamped with the "H.P. (Standing Eagle) 40" hallmark, which may be french c1850-1858. The matt is quite thick and heavy. I am fascinated by the size of his fingers, the result of many years of manual labour, I presume.
