Here is an incredible antique ambrotype photo in a beautiful thermoplastic frame. This is a rare 1/2 plate size.

There is a street sign in the photo that says Centre Ave. I believe the photo to have been taken in Pittsburgh as the only Centre Ave I can find is inPittsburgh, but I can't find a photo of this building. There are a couple broadsides in the image that I can't read. There are also 2 young boys on the steps to the house. The image is tight within the frame and I'm afraid to try and remove it.

There looks to be a black tin sheet behind the glass image. A piece of the velvet liner is missing but could be replaced. There is no brass mat. The frame is free of any major chips or cracks which is pretty remarkable.

Please look at the photos as they show accurate condition. Just a beautiful, rare and unique image from the 1850s - early 1860's that is a true showpiece.
