19th-Century Cased Photographs Lot - A charming 19th-century photographic collection featuring a cased sixth-plate ambrotype/daguerreotype capturing a young girl seated in a chair with hand-tinted rosy cheeks, accompanied by an empty brass foil and glass frame, as well as an un-cased tintype depicting a man seated in a horse-drawn carriage. The set displays characteristic period housing with molded thermoplastic or leatherette cases, ornate brass mats, and velvet lining. Overall condition ranges from fair to good; the cased portrait of the young girl remains well-preserved with clear contrast and minor edge wear to the case, while the loose tintype shows edge emulsion chipping, surface rubbing, and oxidation consistent with age and handling. H 3.75”, W 3.25”, D 0.75”. From the Trenga Collection. Please see photos for condition.
