This one-sixth plate daguerreotype is a portrait of three individuals. We are guessing that they are a boy and his older sisters, alhough the older femle could be mother. The boy is holding a small bouquet of tinted flowers while holding his sister's hand. The boy wears a high-waisted button on outfit with a small ruffled collar. His hair seems to have been done in ringlets. Note that his sisters' hair is not done in ringlets. He looks to be about 4 years old. His sister holds open a small book. She wears lace fingerless gloves. It is housed in a half case with a geometric oval design. Unfortunsately we do not know where the portrait was taken. We woukld guess a fashionable northeastern city. It is also undated, but was probably taken in the 1850s.
