CHARMING PATRIOTIC DAGUERREOTYPE OF CHILDREN POSED WITH AN AMERICAN FLAG, HOUSED IN A PATRIOTIC CASE
Three-quarter length studio portrait of two children with an American flag. Sixth plate daguerreotype. Full pressed paper case featuring a patriotic motif with crossed canons and a superimposed Union shield.
A delightful portrait of two children, almost certainly brothers, wearing matching embroidered jackets. Posed side-by-side, the oldest wraps his arm around his somewhat surly younger brother while holding an American flag. Artfully draped, the image exemplifies brotherly solidarity and youthful patriotism.
