Three quarter portrait of a seated middle aged man in a double breasted jacket with bow tie and high collar, leaning on a fabric covered table and seated on a barley twisted design chair. There are three books on the table. His left arm is bent holding gloves and rests on his lap. Hand coloured. Plain background.
The housing is very similar to PDC_04_03 even down to the sheet of green paper behind the plate. DB47 has a similar housing but has not been taken out of its case to look for green paper. FAU032 has a similar case and an embossed paper. It seems likely that all these cases are all from the same manufacturer who inserted a sheet of coloured paper into the space for the daguerrepotype to provide an attractive contrast to the surrounding coloured velvet.
The housing is also similar to 2007-65/20 (as far as can be seen), 1956-805/1, MFM S-6397, and bears some similarities with MLK_FH_ 02082.
