Hi guys! Just me wishing you a Happy Easter! Hope you are with loved ones!
Before I pop of to begin my weekend of eating and chocolate induced sugar highs, I wanted to share another find from…
…Mike’s General Store.
I think this is an ambrotype (anyone more knowledgeable are welcome to chime in). It is missing its frame but I liked the subjects.
I am assuming it is a mother with her children and family in the background. She is wearing an apron that seems a bit tattered and the location seems rustic (outdoors on dirt) but she has nice jewelry. The hair says 1880’s to me. I’d love to know their story. Maybe they are land owning farmers taking advantage of a travelling photographer who came by during a busy season?

This might help you figure out if it’s an ambro. https://blog.scienceandmediamuseum.org.uk/find-out-when-a-photo-was-taken-identify-collodion-positive-ambrotype/
