Quarter Plate Ambrotype Photograph of Two Little Boys in Military Uniforms
United States: 1860. Very Good Condition. Item #50022
United States: photographer unattributed, ca. 1860s. Original quarter plate albumen photograph (10.5x8cm) accompanied by original scrap of black cloth and stiff card mount, original frame lacking. Image strong and the tablecloth on the table in the image is lightly tinted green and purple. Very Good, a nice example of am ambrotype deconstructed.
Rather sweet portrait of two young boys, possibly brothers, in Civil War-era military uniforms, festooned with bowties around both their collars (also lightly tinted green), the buckles on their belts with a little bit of gilt touch-up from the photography studio as well. The slightly older boy, maybe nine or ten years old, has his arm around the younger, who looks to be about seven or eight..
