Description Half Plate Daguerreotype of Ustick Family, Including Black Servant. The young child on Walter's lap is probably Irene Walter, the first child he had with Amanda Walter. Irene was born in 1849. What is unusual about this photograph and which makes it extremely rare is the presence of a black servant, perhaps a nursemaid. She reportedly came to the family with Walter's second wife Amanda. One assumes that since both Walter and his second wife were from the free state of Pennsylvania, the black servant was a free woman.
