Vintage AMBROTYPE Photo of a Proper Young Woman Girl Daguerreotype Case 1850s
(I am not a photo expert - was advised by someone else on how to list this - corrections are welcome)
So, this was from my Grandfathers Estate - (born in 1898), my assumption is that she is somewhere in the family lineage. My Grandfather came from a family that loved photography, I'm sure this was in the family for quite awhile. Not sure if the case was a single or a double. He grew up in Sweden, as a young man, he went to Red Wing MN, so this probably traveled with him. On a side note, his cousin was on the Titanic, who was also coming to America to work in Red Wing (family business).
If I knew who she was, I would be tempted to keep her - but I think someone who is interested in collecting would be a better fit.
