A7678

Small picture case covered in tooled maroon leather; inside is a daguerreotype? (early photograph) on glass of a man; image partly silvered; Horton collection. Uncertain whether the faintly written 'BOURNE' on the case refers to the subject of the image, or possibly Samuel Bourne, the British photographer of the 1850's/1860's?

mid 19th century, circa 1850-1860?
