Quite an interesting find Jake! It does say it’s William H Bonney 1859 - 1881 a Daguerrotype, and it’s part of the Catalogue of American Portraits a research archive of the National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution and artist unknown, it’s noted that if an owner is listed that the information may not be current, I’m unable to find anything more about it’s history. Looking closely, it looks like he has his hand on a gun? He does look like it may have some characteristics of Billy’s tintype the eyebrows, and possibly the ears?  |
