Gallery›National Science and Media Museum Bradford›The housing is very similar to PDC_04_03 even down to the sheet of green paper behind the plate. DB47 has a similar housing but has not been taken out of its case to look for green paper. FAU032 has a similar case and an embossed paper. It seems likely that all these cases are all from the same manufacturer who inserted a sheet of coloured paper into the space for the daguerrepotype to provide an attractive contrast to the surrounding coloured velvet. The housing is also similar to 2007-65/20 (as far as can be seen), 1956-805/1, MFM S-6397, and bears some similarities with MLK_FH_ 02082.

Half length portrait of a woman, her right arm resting on a table. She faces the camera but looks slightly to her right. There is a textile backdrop with what looks like a curtain to one side. She wears a dark dress with broad white lace collar, with a broad white ribbon tied decoratively in a bow in front. Her hands are clasped in front. She wears a ring on each hand, also a long narrow gold chain down to her waist. She has what looks like a dark shawl over her shoulders. Her hair is plaited into two plaits that go around her ears.
