Ambrotype of a little terror / young boy in a half case (child portrait)Ninth plate, 2. 5 x 2 inches. Mid late nineteenth century, set in an embossed leather covered case with brasswork matting, bottom of the case only, latch still attached. Photo plate has some scuffing and damage from the reverse side, including a scratch through the shoulder. Great sense of depth. Evocative image of a young boy who does not appear to be a "delight." Pleasingly unpleasant.
