Cased Daguerreotype of Mr. Friteh 1850-1870s
For your consideration is this 1850-70s daguerreotype of Mr. Friteh, an old Uncle on Frances G. Hays Walker mother's side. The daguerreotype is housed in a gorgeous embossed case showing floral and scroll designs around a center piece of an angel. One side of the inside of the case shows a scroll design, red wine colored felt with a vase image set in the center. The opposite side shows the daguerreotype of Mr. Friteh. He is wearing a nice suit and has combed, slicked back hair as he looks directly towards the viewer. The case shows fair condition as the front cover is completely detached but can be partially connected with the two hooks on the side. The photo shows good condition overall with no signs of damage. The case measures 4 9/16" L x 3 5/8" W x 5/8" D.
