Two younger ladies in the front both have printed dresses with white lace collars and brooches. Ladies dresses are the “fan” style bodice that was popular in the 1850’s.

Image is clear with very good contrast. Some light oxidation has occurred. Below image is a label which reads, “MONDAY, 29^TH SEPTEMBER, 1856”.

Image comes housed in full leatherette case, which is in very good condition, but for a piece of the covering on the spine that tore and was repaired. Case is lined in dark red velvet with an embossed design. Decorative brass mat surrounds the image. [sl]
