Whole plate portrait of a mother, father, and their daughter, posed together. The mother looks directly at the camera while the father and daughter gaze somewhat intensely at a point just off-camera. The girl's dress and hair ribbons feature blue hand-tinting as does the tablecloth upon which the mother rests her arm. (Minor imperfections to plate, a clear, sharp image with good contrast, heavy oxidation to mat; unsealed.) Housed in a leatherette case (surface wear).

This lot is located in Cincinnati.
