Original 4th plate ambrotype, bearded man holding a cigar posing with his two little boys. I see some light tinting on their cheeks and lips. A nice image in person. Brighter than my scan when viewed in proper light.
Full and complete case, double clasps, separated covers.
This is a clear glass ambrotype behind a heavy brass mat, with a second piece of painted glass placed behind to bring the image out. It's in very good antique condition with some minor issues like speckling and some light crazing/craquelure with associated discoloration.
