1855 Daguerreotype Hand Colored Maker Native Older

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing portrait of an older Native American woman, taken around 1855. The unknown maker, believed to be American, has immortalized her profound beauty and wisdom through the medium of daguerreotype. Hand-colored with meticulous attention to detail, this artwork brings out the vibrancy of her traditional attire and the depth in her eyes. The image is captured on a 1/6 plate, measuring approximately 10.6 x 2.5 cm (4 3/16 x 1 in. ), while the mat surrounding it measures about 4.1 x 3.5 cm (1 5/8 x 1 3/8 in. ). This intimate size invites us into an intimate connection with this remarkable woman from another era. Her weathered face tells stories of resilience and survival; each wrinkle represents a lifetime's worth of experiences and hardships endured. As we gaze upon her portrait, we are transported back to a time when Native Americans lived harmoniously with nature and possessed deep spiritual connections. Although the identity of both the photographer and subject remain unknown, their legacy lives on through this extraordinary piece of artistry. It serves as a poignant reminder that every individual has a story worth telling – one that transcends time and cultural boundaries. As we admire this photograph print from Liszt Collection, let us honor not only the craftsmanship behind it but also celebrate the rich heritage and contributions made by Native American women throughout history.
