Ambrotype in case with information on subject!
I've had this ambro around for years but have never quite been able to decipher the information contained within so it's time to pass it on to someone else. Inside the case is a paper which reads on one side: Anise? Ann? Carter of Washington Dreur-Gover? of the Anderson Bay Presented him with his picture. On the other side it reads: Quin? Anz? Picture taken at Washington. The paper is a lined tablet page and the writing is in faded ink. Ambro is of a very striking young man probably about 20 years old with bright blue eyes and is hand tinted. Young man is wearing a woolen sweater and what appears to be a heavy woolen waistcoat. Approximately 1860-not a soldier. Case is in expected condition for the period with rubs on the paper corners and a repaired hinge. about 2 3/4 inches x 2 3/8 inches.
