See the photos of this very nice all original sixth plate ambrotype housed in half of a case. There is no top glass and there is a piece of modern paper on the back for contrast.
This fellow has that "Sesesh" look about him but I can't be sure. There is something else on the table he is resting on but I can't exactly tell what it is.
The top could probably be cleaned but I haven't tried. The item "1/6 Plate Ambrotype Photograph Civil War Navy Man withTELESCOPE Confederate NEAT" is in sale since Friday, June 26, 2020.
