Lot of 2 sixth plate daguerreotypes taken at the same sitting, showing the same two children, likely brother and sister, in nearly identical poses. In one pose, the children are in the center of the frame, but the girl is looking away from the camera. In the other, both children look directly into the camera but are framed slightly off center. Housed in matching floral pressed paper cases. Condition: One with only light solarization at mat edges, the other with the same as well as some spotting in the same area. Both cases very good.
