Post mortem portrait of Catherine M. Wiseman (nee Evans). The lady is shown horizontally on a sofa wearing a bonnet and what appears to be a cloak. Her eyes are closed.
Catherine M Wiseman had six children. This image is one of three plates, seemingly identical, presumably for different children. They were probably taken as three successive exposures. All three are included in case anyone wishes to study multiple daguerreotype images. All three sold at Chiswick Auctions 28/5/2021 lot number 21 for £425.
