Description: Quarter-plate daguerreotype of a man and woman by Root, Philadelphia. They are not identified but based on other ID'd images from the same estate, they were likely members of the Swartley family of Bucks County, PA, who were Mennonites. very old unbroken paper seals and appears to be in excellent, undamaged condition. All of the spots appear to be on the glass, and II can detect no issues on the plate. Looks like it would clean up beautifully if you were to clean/replace the glass. The case is overall very nice, though the covers are separated along the spine. Boxed shipping. 385a
