Sixth plate ambrotype. Full leatherette case.
Adorable ambrotype portrait of a young girl in a casual dress holding - or trying to hold - a live chicken. In an uncharacteristically "fun" scene for the time, the little girl can barely contain her smile as her feathered friend squirms in her arms. It is rare to see such innocent joy in an 1850s photograph.
