Default 1848 Baseball Daguerreotype on Mastro..

Posted By: ramram

Oops. The first image that comes up is actually the c. 1868 tintype. The dags in this lot are: 1) the one with the three kids and 2)the image with the standing child that looks more as if they are dressed like a girl (unfortunately, they dressed the poor boys this way sometimes back then). I guess the order of the photos leaves a little to be desired. Anyway, I do believe the two are dags now. I would place the one that is claimed to be from c. 1848 to be actually mid 1850's based on the mat style.
