Original 1850s, quarter-plate ambrotype, deceased boy in the lap of a man, almost certainly his father, whose face is partially visible.
Ambrotype is housed in its original decorated thermoplastic case that is in perfect condition! I could not find a single flaw of any kind, not even a tiny nick. You will not find a case in better condition than this one, a case which I believe also happens to be pretty rare. Closed, the case's largest side measures about 4 3/4".
This is a clear glass ambrotype with a piece of dark cloth inside of the case. If you see any white specks in my pics, it's the cloth showing through; you can replace the cloth with a piece of dark paper or velvet. The ambrotype is in overall very good or better antique condition, with a few small mat abrasions. The provided pics were taken with my cell phone, with and without flash.
