DescriptionSixth plate cased daguerreotype in octagonal brass window mat package. The subject, Jeremiah Brown, is shown wearing a dark jacket, white shirt, and dark necktie. His hair is dark and styled so that there is a loose curl on his forehead. The plate is dark, so the details are difficult to make out.
