Product code: Lovely Ambrotype of Young Woman, Gold Embellished Brooch, 1/9 best plate
This lovely Ambrotype depicts a young woman with long curls, a polka dotted dress, and gold hand-painted embellishments These pieces likely date from the 1850s-60s. The case is complete but not intact. The metal clasp is in good working order, but the leather hinge is worn away. The red velvet padding is in lovely condition. The Ambrotype is a photographic process introduced in the early 1850s. It is essentially an underexposed glass negative (wet plate collodion) that could best be viewed as a positive image when placed on a black background. These plates are typically displayed on a black backing, or may have the backs of the glass lacquered/painted black.
