    Just sharing yet another daguerreotype I acquired. This one has quite a bit of hand coloring and is very sharp. Can't wait to get all that dust out! Also, this one was taken by Anson 589 Broadway

    I love seeing your old images!
    The jewelry is always of interest to me in the portraits.

    Sisters? Or mother and daughter?

    Anson's, one of a number of photography studios at 589 Broadway in 1858.

    Well it was sold as two sister but it definitely could be a mother and daughter?

    And thanks for the photograph of Ansons, apparently they had one of the most ornate reception rooms during that time! It was 50 cents to have a dag taken and cost extra for coloring and what not.
