Half plate daguerreotype of an African American man with a cow. Uncased, but plate is under the mat of M.P. Simons / Philad'a. Montgomery P. Simons was a photographer and maker of daguerreotype cases in Philadelphia from at least 1842 to 1857, though in 1849 he operated in Charleston, South Carolina, and made over 4,000 images. Therefore, there is a slight possibility that this is a slave image.
Condition
Several mostly horizontal scratches/swipes.ÿ Mat tarnished.ÿ Resealed.
