[EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY]. A group of 5 daguerreotypes and ambrotypes of groups of mostly young adults, including:
Half plate ambrotype group portrait of 5 young men, viewable from both sides due to dark velvet pad attached to both interior covers. (Good clarity and contrast to image.) Housed in a fully separated double-sided case with central image holder that flips against each interior cover, making the image appear positive on both sides (both covers fully separated at spine, case in three separate pieces). -- Quarter plate daguerreotype group portrait featuring 5 young men and 3 young women, possibly the young adult members of a family or a class of some sort. (Some tarnishing to edges, with some softening to clarity; partly resealed.) Housed in a half pressed paper case. -- And 3 others, including a quarter plate daguerreotype, a sixth plate daguerreotype, and a sixth plate ambrotype, most in broken cases. -- Together, 5 daguerreotype and ambrotype group portraits of mostly young adults.
