Half Plate California San Francisco Ambrotype of Lady Hamilton artist
Half plate ambrotype of young mother and her two children. Image comes in a split full case and is signed by Charles Hamilton artist, San Francisco CA. In the lower left corner. Image has those snowflake anomalies that are formed over time between the coverglass and image. This is caused by the glue that the photographer used. Image has original seals. The one jpeg I added is out of focus, but you can see the image is sharp as a tack.
