This is an image I should keep. It is a sixth plate daguerreotype with original seals in probably the most mint leatherette case I have ever seen. The image is clear with the usual solarization around the perimeter. The lady has a pinkish/orange dress on that was tinted by the photographer. Just a great presentation and a wonderful photograph.

Weston, James P.

Active as a daguerreian in New York City, N.Y., 1842-1857. From 1842 until approximately 1847 he was listed at 12 Park Place, and at least in 1842 was listed in partnership as Franquinet and Weston. He made views of the Astor House and the New York City Hall in late 1842. In 1846-1847 he was listed as a dealer in daguerreotype apparatus at 192 Broadway, in partnership with P. Weston. James P. Weston was listed alone at the address in 1848-1849, as "apparatus." In 1851-1852 he was listed as a photographer at the same address. From 1852 to 1856 he was listed as a photographer at 132 Chatham Street. Stamped on the brass mat of a sixth plate daguerreotype, "Weston/ 192 B'dway, N.Y.". Probably the same as "Western", listed as a daguerreian in 1842 at 136 Nassau Street, in partnership as Western and Young (C.P.)Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S. Craig
