Rare Father Holding Dead Child Antique Post Mortem Daguerreotype Photo Mourning sword red leather albumOriginal daguerreotype, sad father holding his deceased infant. The dag is ninth plate, measuring 3" x 2. 5" including the case. The case is missing its cover. The dag is behind mat and cover glass, but there are light scratches on the images; you can see them in my scan, though in person they don't seem nearly aren't as noticeable unless you're tilting the image around. 3120
