1/9 plate ambrotype of man wearing sailor's straw sennet hat and smoking a cigar. His ear MIGHT be pierced, but I'm not 100% sure. Full case.
This is a clear glass ambrotype with a second piece of glass affixed to the first, sandwiching the emulsion in between the two pieces. There are some defects - some people say they look like air pockets - between the pieces of glass, but they are not detracting. The largest defect is on his shoulder (on our left).
Boxed shipping.
