Widow and Orphan, 1/6th-Plate Daguerreotype, Circa 1853

            © Ann Longmore-Etheridge Collection.

The young widow presents to us what remains of her husband--his healthy and curious son, who will not remember his father. Her eyes are pensive as she smiles with some effort during the long exposure, while keeping the boy still and his hands in place for the best photographic outcome.
