Description

frame is damaged (see pic)

This 19th Century Ambrotype of a seated gentleman is a striking example of early photographic portraiture.

Ambrotypes, introduced in the 1850s, were created using a wet plate process that produced a one-of-a-kind image, often cherished by families as a keepsake.

The gentleman, seated with dignity, offers a poignant glimpse into Victorian-era fashion and demeanor.

Encased in an intricately embossed leather frame, this piece not only preserves a moment in time but also serves as a beautiful artifact of 19th-century craftsmanship, making it a treasured item for antique photography collectors.
