Daguerreotype measures 3” x 2” and 4” x 2.5” in white holder. Dark to medium contrast and focus is sharp. There is slight wear on the photo and matte. Photographer is identified as Strong & Sims, but there is very little information on their location and years of business. The woman in the photograph stands posed in Native dress. Her tribal affiliation is unknown, but based on the material and design of the dress she could to be a Plains Native, although more research is nessesary. The only clues to the photograph are from California, 1860's.
