1/4 Daguerreotype Photo Barefoot Child + Parents Sleeping Or Post mortem? 1800s jesse james Original circa 1888 cabinet cardQuarter plate daguerreotype, 1850s. There's a possibility this is a post mortem, but I personally do not believe so. Condition of the daguerreotype is very good. There is a tarnish ring and scattered tarnish spots, but no damage like scratches, swipes, corrosion, or dings. Case is missing its cover.
