old picture from my parents collection of relatives.
was putting a tin box on this site and put subcatogary tintypes untill i found that means these glass photographs.
now i can put this in the right catagory. looking into my past ill find her name eventually and edit this.
Nice image-- love the cameo on the collar!
Is the image itself on glass? If on glass it would be an ambrotype.

Super image -- I love these !! So much of a history lesson on this
it is on glass.
I thought it had some appearances of being on glass. It would correctly be called an ambrotype. Ambrotypes were contemporaries of tintypes, produced in the US from about 1855- 1865.
In the UK and other countries, ambrotypes were produced much later into the 19th century; however, I believe your image is from early production.
Thanks for sharing!

Glad to help out.
I am always willing to share what I have learned in years of collecting and dealing in antique photographs.
