Price: $120,000.00
Unbound. A remarkable group of 10 portraits of Horace Mann and his family, featuring a unique, and previously undiscovered, cased quarter plate daguerreotype of Mann, the great architect of the American system of popular education. The photos were preserved by the Mann family, and all are housed in a circa 1950s cardboard box with the typed ownership label of Horace Mann, III (Mann’s grandson) of Southwest Harbor, Maine. The box has some internal repair and chipping. The photos are overall very good with general wear and light spotting to two; the daguerreotype has a few scratches at neck level, and a couple of mild abrasions, but else near fine.
