[EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY]. Pair of ambrotypes of dogs, incl. portrait of a young man posed with his arm around his ample canine companion.

Sixth plate ambrotype portrait of a young man wearing a western hat, grasping his lapel with one hand and holding onto his dog with the other. The dog sits, taking up the better part of an upholstered studio chair. (Image slightly dark, but sharp in focus; sealed.) Housed in a fully separated pressed paper case (split at spine, surface wear). -- Sixth plate ambrotype profile portrait of a long-haired dog. The dog sits still, facing left, from the viewer's perspective. The area of the plate beneath the dog has been scratched to create a seemingly dark ground surface. (Light chemical deterioration to edges, image a bit dark, minor spotting.) Housed in a pressed paper case (surface wear). -- Together, 2 sixth plate ambrotypes.
