| A 1/6th plate ambrotype of a young sitting next to a rather sickly-looking plant in a terracotta flower-pot. It seems improbable that the plant is a studio prop, and therefore more than likely that the man has bought it into the studio specifically in order to be photographed next to it, a conclusion borne out by his air of pride. A tooled brass, oval matt, and a chased brass inner-frame. Housed in a very dark purple (almost black) leather half-case, tooled in a floral pattern, with a hook for hanging. |

condition: Some very slight flaking of the enamel just visible in a raking light. price: £100 code: amb06 |
