Unidentified photographer
n.d.
A man, his drink and an attentive woman

Daguerreotype, 1/6 plate
Private collection of Robin Kelsey and Michael Lehr
Daguerreian Society Auction, Pasadena, CA, November 2015, Lot: 8
 
The composition of the man, the lady, and the drink is mesmerizing. He appears to be grimacing and while attentive, she seems concerned. Is this allegorical or does it have something to do with losing the tip of his index finger?
