| At first glance I was sure this was certainly at least an 1850s photo, with the woman's mitts and bodice. A message written behind this photo, however, dates it to 1863. This may just be a good example of a person wearing an older style. |
| This is a really nice photo of a young woman in the 1850s. Notice how well-fitting her dress is, and the way her hair is braided. |
| Very cute photo of a brother and sister. Notice the fan-bodice on the girl, and the boy's collar. |
| Mother and daugher. Like many of the little girls, this girl's hair is cut short. The mother's hair is in the popular smooth "wings" of the late 1840s. |
Getting good copies of daguerrotypes
is sometimes hard. I'll try to upload a
better one of this when I get a chance.
