Description

Very good overall condition for its age. The ambrotype itself shows minor dust, and minimal scuffing to the glass. The black lacquer on the back of the glass has crazed. The original brass mat and protector show some light scratching and some spots of patina.The original leather case shows mild scratching to the exterior, and the original bind is broken.
