Summary edit

Description

After cleaning up, the real beauty of this image is revealed. Note the very large 'miniature' with an early C19th portrait of a younger man. Given this ambrotype was probably made ca 1860 and the lady is probably 60 or so, there is a possibility that it could be a portrait of her deceased husband.

The image is contained in one half of what would have been a full case, with a rather early looking mat (possibly not contemporary, and it came to me loose in the back of the case) and a simple preserver. No indication of studio, but presumed British.
