Description: This is a rare ambrotype as it features a very richly dressed African American woman. She sits slightly turned away from the camera but with her face at an angle so that she looks at us. She is perfectly poised in her glossy furs, expensive jewelry and coiffed hair. Her face is one of patience although her eyes have a slight mournful air. 1
