Sixth plate hand-tinted and gilt ambrotype portrait of a mother and two children. Full leatherette case.

A charming and relatable portrait of a mother with her young children. The mother wears a patterned dress, lace gloves, and a brooch at her collar. On her lap are her two young children, one shy, nestled in their mother's arm, the other inquisitive, apparently curious about the photographer's craft. The photographer has delicately hand-tinted and gilt the image with an expert hand, further enhancing the tender portrait.
