2" X 2 1/2" image size. Very Rare Double exposure Daguerreotype dated Sept, 1855. Plus Excellent quality Pannotype image done on Mica October 1856. Pannotypes were made mostly between 1850-1860 as an alternative to the Daguerreotype/Ambrotype images which were subject to easy damage by touch. Mostly flexible materials were used such as card stock, oilcloth, paper and leather where an image was made and then transferred onto the new material. A lot of them were made but the majority were lost due to deterioration and damage. I have only found about 8 Pannotypes in 14K images I have worked with and only this one on Mica. In completing research, I did find that a few were done on Mica. Caroline's father was an immigrant from Belgium who studied with some of the finest jewelers and watch makers in Europe before coming to America. Caroline was an only daughter who took over the business in adulthood. The Pannotype was carefully folded in the tissue paper and placed inside the case under the Daguerreotype. I placed it between cover glass pieces in a 1/6th size brass frame so that identification could be read. The 1/9th case is full with split hinge. This comes from my personal collection, as I am downsizing a bit
