Half-plate ambrotype of a teenage girl wearing a dark dress, brooch, and ringlet curls in her hair. Written inside of the case in pencil is the name Lydia D. Wattes. There is also a smaller piece of paper in ink that reads: "Lydia D. Wattes died at 19 yrs". I do not know where that info came from, but it was with the image when I purchased it and will be included inside of the case. Clear glass ambrotype with black tin or paper (can't remember) backing placed inside of the case. Very good antique condition in half of a case, which is 6" tall.
