1850'sAntique Ambrotype Type Photo of Young Women w Gold Jewlery in Leather Case. Size closed 3.5tall 3.25 wide I am not an expert on this topic but it seems that the photo is printed on the glass. It has a slight 3d effect. The photo is dark and there is a lifting of the black background. The gold Jewlery looks quite interesting almost popping out from the photo. The case (which is a darker brown the in the photo ) is still intact which is hard to find in a photo this old. The binding is in good condition. The Brass and Velvet are also in good shape for the age. Refer to the photos.This is really a nice addition to a collection"Following the public announcement of the invention of photography in the late 1830s, it became popular both as an amateur pastime and a commercial enterprise. For the first time it was possible to document all aspects of life through the lens of a camera, giving true portrayals, as opposed to an artist’s impression.As technology developed, less expensive processes became available. Ambrotype photographs (also known as wet collodion positives) became popular in the early 1850s. The Ambrotype process involved capturing positive photographic images on glass plates covered with a thin layer of collodion, while the plate was still wet. Ambrotypes were usually kept in protective cases and mounted in a metal frame."Shipping: I ship via the most economicalprovider once a location hasbeen determined.If there is anover charge in shipping of .50cents or moreI willrefundyour acct.
