A haunting 1860s daguerreotype portrait of a woman in a heavy lace Victorian mourning dress standing in a fog-filled conservatory. Her face is slightly blurred as if she moved during the long exposure, giving her a ghostly appearance. In the background, overgrown ferns and dead lilies press against the glass panes. The image has the characteristic silver-mercury sheen, scratches on the metal plate, and heavy vignetting around the edges.
