Description from the seller

Set of 1 daguerreotype + 3 ambrotypes + 1 tintype portraits (1860s)

- 1 daguerreotype (4th plate = circa 8.3x10.8cm) of an older lady: very clear daguerreotype, with particularly beautiful chemistry, featuring intact original sealing. On the reverse side, there is an inscription in pencil (maker's mark?).

1 tintype (6th plate = circa 7x8.3cm) of a young woman.

- 3 ambrotypes (9th plate = approximately 5x6.4cm) of a young gentleman and two young ladies.


Very sharp, contrasting, and bright portraits, dating from around 1860.

Ambrotypes and tintypes are very beautiful examples of the wetplate collodion process.

All the portraits are in very good condition, even though they are now more than 150 years old.
They are stored in a wood/leather case and equipped with a copper/brass passe-partout.

For the condition of the objects, I kindly refer to the photos.
