Original quarter-plate ambrotype of a man, resembles Confederate Maj General Patrick Cleburne, who would have lived in Arkansas at the time this photo was taken, relatively close to where this ambrotype was found (near Katy, Texas).
Uncased behind mat and glass, 4.25" x 3.25". Very good antique condition overall, with an area of discoloration, debris specks stuck to the underside of the glass. Piece of painted black paper affixed to the back.. I have never taken the pieces apart to clean or examine further.
