Ambrotypes show as negatives when not backed by something dark. In some cases, as with this one, the glass is coated with a black paint or lacquer. Over time, that coating can flake and fall away, making it seem like the image is damaged. But, unless the silver nitrate/collodion emulsion also separates from the glass, all you need to do to “repair” an ambrotype in this condition is carefully open the case and back it with a bit of black, acid-free paper.This was probably taken in the 1850s-1860s. I love that she’s holding another cased portrait and the detail in her lace gloves.#photography #ambrotype #vintagephotography #wetplatecollodions #victorian #portrait]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/topic/838a41fb-f244-469f-8af0-0af8bcfca9a0/here-s-a-beautiful-ambrotype-i-picked-up-recently-for-next-to-nothing-because-it-was-described-as-damaged.</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://board.circlewithadot.net/topic/838a41fb-f244-469f-8af0-0af8bcfca9a0/here-s-a-beautiful-ambrotype-i-picked-up-recently-for-next-to-nothing-because-it-was-described-as-damaged.</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[brian@awesome.garden]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Invalid Date</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
