Now then, isn't this Belgian family portrait, taken c. 1912, just utterly charming? Daguerrian Dandy extends gratitude and a gentlemanly tip of the hat to Christophe Van Walleghem for this studio shot of a handsomely-attired father, mother and young master. An utter delight!
The proprietor of this modest blog wishes to welcome you to the little 19th century soiree that goes on 'round these parts. You’re likely to be besieged with daguerreotype dandies, hair-raising Gothic Revival furniture, humourous crinoline capers, fair mid-century maidens, saucy postcards, peculiar inventions, melodramatic and tawdry news publication excerpts, a nice helping of American 19th century architecture, mugshots aplenty and artefacts straight out of old Uncle Silas’ curio cabinet.
