    Description

    I purchased this amazing ambrotype years ago, but now have no more space! It is an ambrotype, in a
    more unusual quarter plate size,
    of a post mortem portrait of an old man, wearing his eyeglasses! In original brass mats. No case. The condition is very good; there is dust and other marks. There is a swipe mark on the lower half of image, where his coat is. Looks like someone tried to clean it at one point- not me!!! Incredible detail of face.
