You can tell the boy is son of the two. I've been trying to put my finger on mothers ethnic descent.
African American possibly, or Native American, but honestly, she has a distinct Polynesian look about her. There may not be any weapons, but the content, clarity, composition and condition is second to none. It really is a beautiful piece of Civil War photographic history! Image Type : Ruby Glass Ambrotype. Housing : Full brown leatherette case with floral motif, light wear, amateur leather spine repair and red velvet plush.
