- Lot Description
Fabulous quarter plate daguerreotype of a schoolmaster, presumably a mathematics instructor, posed with his students. The schoolmaster holds an open book with his left hand while raising his right hand and holding up two fingers. A young boy wearing a checkered vest, in his early teens, stands next to the instructor while three younger students, two young boys and a young girl with curls, sit in the front holding chalk boards in their laps. The image was included in the 2006 Smithsonian American Art Museum exhibition Young America: Childhood in Nineteenth-Century Art and Culture, and was aptly titled The Math Lesson. The published exhibition book by Claire Perry accompanies the image and lists the daguerreotype as part of the "Exhibition Checklist" on page 231.
