Ambrotype

This Ambrotype of my ancestor was sent to me in the 1980's. Unfortunately it got broken but here it is with the case and frame

This is a professional photo I had done years ago of the Ambrotype

The case is called a "Union case"

Family group photo before restore

My old photos restored

This is my Ambrotype from the 1860's.

It is a photo on glass.

It was sent to me by my Great Auntie in the 1980's.

With help from some people at Rootschat (Rootsweb) they have enhanced digitally the photo.

Thanks to all the people who contributed

Being an Ambrotype the image actually has to be seen in reverse.

Examples.

This is a copy of the photo of the original Ambrotype glass photo.

As you will note the image has been reversed
