Family Portrait
mammoth-plate daguerreotype, with gilt detail, in a brass mat and contemporary gilt wall frame
plate: 14 by 10⅞ in. (35.6 by 27.6 cm.)
frame: 22 by 19¾ in. (55.9 by 50.2 cm.)
Executed circa 1850.
Sotheby's, New York, 6 October 1999, Sale 7348, Lot 3
Acquired from the above by the present owner
Mammoth-plate daguerreotypes–those larger than the 'whole' plate standard available during the mid-19th century–are exceedingly rare. The impressive size of this daguerreotype and the gilt detail on the sitters' rings, earrings, and brooches attest to the wealth and status of this anonymous family.
