Daguerreotype of a Man With a Switch

Daguerreotype of Man With a Switch

Another one of my favorite images.  This gentleman projects a comfortable and relaxed air.  He obviously feels at ease in a casual seating position.  Better seen in the original daguerreotype than in this scan, there is a ring on his elevated pinky finger.  His other hand is holding a switch.  He sports a comfortable smile and is well dressed.  A 1/6 plate image.
