We think the portrait of Louise, George, and Libbie Noyas was taken in the 1840s, but dating Dags is difficult. We are not yet capable of destinguising between 1840s and 50s styles, in part because we can not accurately date Dags. One indicator is the frame. We believe the plane frames were more common in the 1840s and gradually became more ornate. Thus we are guessing that this is a 40s Dag Here we welcome reader insights on dafing Daguerreotype portraits. The planeness of the frame is admotedly a very imperfect indicator. The pose is also an indicator. There is little ttempt at posing. The children are all squeezed togrther without any furniture or backdrop. This also suggests the 1840s to us.
