Figure 1.--Here we see John L. Coll and his younger sister who is unamed in the note left in he Daguerreotype case. John looks to be about 3-4 years old. His younger sibibling, possibly a brother, looks to be about 2 years old. We know that John was born in Morpeth, Ontario, Canada during 1857. So we know the portarit was taken about 1860-61. This was just the time that Dags and Ambros had begun to be replaced by CDVs and this is one of the few Canadian Dags we have found. It had a gutta percha case like most American Dags. John wears a white tunic outfit. With long pants that do not match. It is a front buttoning tunic. We are not sure about earlier tunics, but this seems fairly common at mid-century. John's litle brothe or sister wears a plaid dress. Both children have ruffeled collars. The note in the Dag says that John was the father of 'Cy' Coll, obviously written in more modern times.
