DescriptionThese are two ninth plate daguerreotypes mounted in an early three-quarter plate case, with hair locks and pencil on paper inscription:
Have a care of this vain deceitful
World & the lusts of the flesh; be sure
You choose God for your portion, hea -
ven for your home God's glory for
Your end his word for your rule
& then you need never fear but
We shall meet with comfort.
Baxter
