Impressive, large half-plate ambrotype of what appears to be a well-to-do family, taken in a horizontal format by a skilled photographer. The image, which likely dates to the late 1850s, is clear and well-composed. While mother and father are dressed in darker, more formal clothing, the children wear delightful matching dresses, which appear to be sewn from the same light plaid pattern.

Condition is near mint. Image comes as shown.
