Original Daguerreotype Photo btb Poet Phoebe Cary Ohio Photographer Rare 1800s author For quarter-plate (1/4) images -Original circa 1849 half plate daguerreotype portrait of a fashionable woman holding a small book. She's wearing one glove, and her other glove has been placed on the table. Although not identified, the previous owner had this image in their family for many years, with the belief that she was the poet Phoebe Cary, and I have no reason to doubt that a comparison photo of Cary I found online shows quite a few similarities, in my opinion.
