Daguerreotype   GERMAN FAMILY IN NEW YORK CITY.
1/2 plate in octagonal mat, hanging frame. An old typed inscription attached to the back reads "Dr. med Carl Henschel and his wife, Caroline Mathilde, nee Faber. The girl, standing beside her mother is Mathilde Faber Henschel, later the second wife of David Hutchinson Francis Burke, the boy is Charles Stahlknecht Henschel, later the husband of Mary Ottiwell. The infant is Johannes Henschel, who died, unmarried, in early manhood in Manilla, Philippine Islands. This Daguerreotype was made in New York City in 1848." The proud parents smile. The image remains lively despite some overall wipes. [D2]
