Date: 1840s-50s.This miniature daguerreotype shows two hands resting on a book. The photograph is set into a two-piece gold-washed brass frame with a loop on the reverse for sewing to a garment. The case design with its simple, raised ornamental border is typical of the gilt-metal buttons mass-produced from 1830 to 1850 in several New England factories such as the Scovill Manufacturing Company in Waterbury, Connecticut, which also manufactured daguerreotype plates. The button was discovered in the early 1980s in a flea market in Massachusetts.The use of buttons for political purposes in the United States began in the 1700s with buttons that proclaimed "Independence," as the goal of the oppressed colonists, and "Long Live the President," in honor of the inauguration of George Washington. But it was not until the 1828 presidential campaign of Andrew Jackson, just twenty years before the likely date of this photogrE Boyd, Candle Sconce, c 1936 Candle SconceFragment of silk fabric silver motifs of asymmetrical flower twigs unknownNicholas Amantea, Jar, 1939 JarPhoto album with 36 recordings of European countries, various manufacturers, c. 1860 - c. 1890 Photo album in brown cover with copper lock.

The leather-bound volumes, stained ink bottle, and much-used quill pen show the mellowing effect of age,” which the artist praised in an undated interview. The varied objects reveal Harnett’s skill in rendering different textures. Although the rolled coins and other currency probably determined the title, there is nothing in the work or its history to indicate that it was commissioned by or painted for a particular banker..
