Amazing half plate of a very well-to-do young woman with an fantastic dress. This half plate had the original seals when I bought it, but the glass was almost opaque. Underneath was a minty photograph with exceptional tones, etc. There is one little squiggly line centered at the bottom of the image, but that is not a scratch, but a line from the process of making the photograph. Image has a split full case and I was surprised to find a tiny little piece of paper stating that this is "Lilly, Oct 3rd, 1853" Cool period ID. The photograph was done by McClees and Germon of Philadelphia. Every image I have ever had that was done by this pair of photographers has been top notch. Just a killer image that will stay on my shelf if it doesn't sell. I was just in a mood to list it tonight. It's been in the collection for at least 5 years. Thanks for looking.
