Description:

Daguerreotype of (from left to right) young Margaret Horlbeck and Emma Blum. They are standing close with clasped hands, holding floral boquets and are wearing dresses and pantalettes. The image is surrounded by gold metal in a full stamped leather case with red embossed velvet on the interior. The photographer's mark of "Cook Artist Charleston" is found on reverse and a separate card idenfying the young girls as "Margaret Buckingham Horlbeck 1847-1873 (left) Emma Julia Blum (1848-) (right)" was found inside the case.
