<B>Slave Nurse 1/4th Plate Daguerreotype.</B></I> Two healthy white children are posing with their black nursemaid in this very rare topical image, ca. 1850. A healthy and attractive young woman, the nurse wears a plain house dress and the ever-present bandana associated with her station in life. The older of the two children wears an utterly bored expression as she holds a wreath of flowers. The younger child is slightly blurred since the daguerrean process required the subject to remain motionless- a difficult task for toddlers or babies! Light overall scratches only visible when angles; one small halo on older child's left shoulder. The exterior of the case is slightly worn with several small stains on the gilt mat. Overall attractive and very rare. Ex. William Turner, author of <I>Even More Confederate Faces</B></I>.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Small Collectibles (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
