Two scans of daguerreotypes. Location of original objects is unknown.
The first image is a man and his daughter, sister, wife or other female relative as indicated by her hand resting on his shoulder. His elbow in on a table that is covered with a patterned cloth. Her other hand rests on a book.
The second image is a man alone with distinct cheekbones and pale eyes.

The daguerreotype image was popular in the United States in the 1850s so these images are likely from that era.
