Seed Pearl Necklace and Bracelets

James, I'm not quite clear on some things. What is your connection in the alleged daguerreotype of Abraham and Mary?

Which prominent Washington photographer do you believe took the picture?

Is it just a coincidence that you joined this conversation as Donna quit making comments?

Thank You

Gene, I'm simply advocating on behalf of what should have been recognized as a national treasure years ago.
Donna didn't "quit making comments", just to be clear. She was banned from posting on this site because of complaints from forum members. My connection to the owner of the daguerreotype is not important to the conversation. The focus should be on the message - not the messenger.
I have no idea who the photographer was. The visual and circumstantial clues and evidence contained in the image point to March 4th as the date of the sitting. These include the clothing, accessories, and Lincoln's beard length and style, with this being the only presidential era photo of him revealing the cleft in his chin. The photographic record of his time as President rule out any future date.
