Description: MINT THERMOPLASTIC CASE "PROFILE OF LEARNED MAN" & ID'ED 1/6 PLATE AMBROTYPE OF A WOMAN - The woman in this sixth plate ambrotype is identified on a slip of paper as, Ellen Gray. Her lovely likeness is cased inside an absolutely mint condition thermoplastic case known in Paul Berg's bible on 19th Century cases as, "Profile of a Learned Man" or Berg 1-81 and considered RARE. A fantastic case and image for any collector of 19th Century photography. Good luck to the next caretaker of this identified cased image. CONDITION: Please view my detailed photos for the actual condition of this case as part of my description. The Ambrotype contains gorgeous contrast, tonal range, amazing sharpness and a touch of warm tinting on the woman's face. The slip of paper identifying Ellen Gray will be included inside the case. The sixth plate case is as mint as you will ever find. No cracks, hairlines or chips to be found on this rare thermoplastic case. The hinges remain tight, a perfect working clasp and a gorgeous velvet pillow. I will carefully ship this item to the winner by way of USPS Priority Mail.
