Quarter-Plate Daguerreotype
Painting of Paddle Wheeler "New World"
Circa 1855
Daguerreotype of a painting, possibly by J. & J. Bard, of the paddle wheeler "New World" which was launched at the English Shipyards circa 1855. The "New World" sailed from New York, around the Horn, to California. Although the Bard's did not do as many paintings of English boats as they did of others, in 1855 they are known to have done paintings of the "Menamon Sanford" and the "Forest City", both launched from the same yard as the "New World." If this is a Bard painting, it would be an exciting new addition to their catalogue raisonné. The dag is in very good condition and is in an octagonal plain brass mat in a leather case, missing the lid. (Approximately 3.25-inches x 4.75-inches in case.)
