Item Details
Description
Quarter plate ambrotype portrait. Period gilt plaster wall frame.
A lovely ambrotype of two children, most likely siblings. This image features delicate hand tinting throughout. Cut to fit a period plaster frame, the older of the two subjects holds the younger’s hand - an act likely borne from a mix of affection and a parent’s worry about the younger subject tumbling from the trunk they stood on for the exposure. This is a wonderful original photograph that was surely treasured by the family that had it made.
