Untitled 1857 - 1860

This daguerreotype, created by B & G Moses between 1857 and 1860, captures the solemn gaze of a young boy. The image, housed in a gilded frame with ornate details, is a prime example of the popular portraiture style of the mid-19th century. The subject's attire and pose suggest a formal setting, likely capturing a significant moment in his childhood. This work is a poignant reminder of the enduring power of photography to preserve fleeting moments in time.
