Daguerreotype Photos of Men In Uniform Mid 1800s
For your consideration are two mid to late 1800s Daguerreotype portrait photographs showing men in uniform. The first photo shows a French Hussar (Light Cavalry) Soldier of the 1853-1856 Crimean War. He is wearing a typical Hussar uniform and looks directly towards the viewer. He is holding his sword in one hand as he sis on a chair. The photo is set in a gold colored frame. The second photo shows another man, likely in dress uniform as he has a decorated hat, belt and sword. He stands tall and is looking to the left of the viewer as he grips his sword and his hat sits next to him. This photo is also housed in a gold colored frame. Both photos show good condition overall with no signs of cracks or damage, but exhibit signs of fading and wear from their age and use over the years. The photos measure 3 1/4" L x 2 3/4" W and have a collective weight of 119.3 grams.
