Lot 549: A Pair of Mid-19th Century Victorian Portrait Ambrotypes in Birds-Eye Maple Frames
This lot comprises a pair of mid-19th-century Victorian photographic portraits, appearing to be ambrotypes on glass. The first depicts a young man in a formal studio pose, seated and wearing a dark coat with a prominent bow tie. The second shows a seated woman holding a small book, dressed in a dark gown with a white lace collar and cuffs. Both subjects exhibit hairstyles and attire characteristic of the 1850s to 1860s. The portraits are presented in oval-cut cream card mounts with gilded inner slips, housed in matching period birds-eye maple veneer frames. A contemporary white paper lot tag reading Liskeard Auction Rooms Lot 549 is present on the top edge. No artist signatures or maker marks are visible.
