<p>[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 10435145, member: 33"]You got great advice from [USER=81]@Kronos[/USER] . Don't ever touch the surface of a daguerreotype. Since this one needs lots of care, you could send it to a professional who does this type of work. Maybe they could do something with the mat, which appears to be somewhat corroded or dirty, too. But all of that would cost some money, so you'd have to factor that in. And it's true, as Kronos wrote, that some of the damage to the image is not removable. What does its case look like? It would be best left in the case.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
