Little Girl Holding Tiny China Doll 1860s Ambrotype Photo john wilkes booth slightly trimmedEarly 1860s ambrotype of a little girl holding a tiny doll. She is not identified, but might be a member of the Joseph Young Roberts family from Missouri Texas. This is a ninth plate ambrotype on colored glass, behind its original mat and glass. In half of a case. This image does have mat abrasions and surface wear (mostly visible under magnification), despite being under glass.
