A Haunting Daguerreotype Portrait

This stunning Portrait has from 1850 has been haunting my thoughts. The man was most likely a slave. The picture is a daguerreotype. You can feel his life, his experiences, his suffering, through his all too expressive eyes.

I would love to see the real mirror daguerreotype image someday. The wonder and beauty  of DAGS need to be held in your own hands to be truly understood and experienced.
