This is a three- quarter view of a man who is sitting in a chair with a dog on his lap. Man is wearing a dark colored frock coat, light colored trousers with a stripe down the side, vest, white shirt and cravat. On the inside of the case, opposite of the image, is a small piece of paper glued on top of the velvet lining. The note is inscribed in period ink and reads, “Wm. F. Wells & dear Dash, one of the best bird dogs in Haufichier County”.

Image is clear with good contrast. Some light oxidation has occurred.

Image comes housed in full pressed paper case, which is in good condition.  Case is lined in faded red colored velvet which has an embossed design. Decorative brass mat surrounds the image.

This ambrotype was part of a unique collection of images that featured animals.    [sm]
