Untitled (Portrait of a Girl) 1840 - 1900

This anonymous daguerreotype, "Untitled (Portrait of a Girl)", is a striking example of early photography. Dating back to 1840-1900, the image captures a young woman in a simple dress. The subject's serious expression and the subtle detail of her clothing, as seen in the grainy, high-contrast image, suggest a formal portrait. This small, intimate image offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the evolution of photographic portraiture in the 19th century.
