1/9th plate image in full case, stamped with "C.L. Howe" and a May 27, 1856 patent date in the bottom-left corner. Very good antique condition overall. Case is complete but separated along the spine.
This is a relievo ambrotype, and I believe also a "sphereotype". The image is very clear and sharp and sits above the mat, giving it a unique appearance. Listing photo #1 is a quick cell phone pic, taken with flash, and uploaded directly to the listing with no editing.
* In this shop are other photos this man and his wife - just search for "Caleb Howe" to view them.
Shipping: Choice of well-packed First Class photo mailer or boxed Priority Mail.
