Description:

Her cheeks are tinted. Rufus P. Anson, who started as a daguerreotypist in 1852 and was located at 589 Broadway from 1853 to after 1860. The heavy advertising is probably because "Anson" was one of the large establishments for which Broadway in New York city was known. When closed (right), the case was a small box with a decorated exterior; when open (left), the right side displayed the daguerreotype behind glass. This case is very typical, with a leather exterior with a tooled design. The interior is slightly unusual in the extent to which the daguerreotypist name is advertised: "Anson / 589 Broadway / N-Y" on the fabric liner and "Anson", "Broadway" on the brass mat covering the daguerreotype.
