Back of picture is black pressed leatherette with urn-like medallion. Hook is on the piece. 3.25" x 3.75" Est. $300 - $500 Ship: $15 There is a wonderful selection of Daguerreotypes, Ambrotypes, Tintypes and photos in this sale. Most of the items came to us from one consignor. The consignor had hired an expert to appraise the collection. As our specialty is really 20th c. self-taught art, and not photography, we used the descriptions determined by the consignors appraiser in our catalog. We have received numereous emails regarding our descriptions and advice about correcting original mistakes from ebay bidders which we truly appreciate. Based on this advice we have revised many of the descriptions. This particular image was originally described as a daguerreotype but looks much more like a tintype upon further inspection although it is not attracted to a magnet.
