Untitled 1852 - 1858

This daguerreotype portrait, created by Jeremiah Gurney between 1852 and 1858, is a classic example of 19th-century portraiture. The sitter, a young man in formal attire, is captured in crisp detail, showcasing the technical mastery of the daguerreotype process. The image is presented in an oval format within a decorative frame, adding to the elegance of the piece. Gurney was a prominent photographer of the era, and his work often captured the formal elegance of Victorian society. This portrait is an excellent example of his ability to capture both the technical precision and the artistic beauty of the daguerreotype medium.
