Lot Essay

One quarter-plate study shows two young men, one seated, the other standing with his hand on the seated man's shoulder. The 1851 portrait is a head and shoulders study of a young man. The two sixth-plates show a portly man in overcoat and a group portrait of six men around a table with beer glasses.
