Masonic Daguerreotype

 

This rare 1/4 plate Daguerreotype image is in overall good condition: it has some very minor tarnishing and mirroring, as well as some light scuffs to the plate, but the image, at the correct angle, remains sharp.  The lodge or guild member shown wears ceremonial apron, with 10 stars and ornate fringe.  His fancy vest also appears to have embroidered stars; his large silk cravat has a masonic compass emblem pinned to the center.  This image was definitely taken some time on the mid-1850s.
