This 19th Century Ambrotype of a courting couple is a captivating piece of early photography, offering a glimpse into a bygone era of romance and tradition.

Ambrotypes, developed in the mid-1850s, were among the earliest forms of photographic portraiture, prized for their clarity and detail.

The image is beautifully framed with a Pinchbeck surround, a popular alternative to gold during the period, and encased in an intricately embossed leather case, adding to its charm and historical significance.

This piece is a perfect addition for collectors of antique photography or those fascinated by Victorian social history.
