Lot 37

Cool sixth-plate hand-tinted ambrotype of a rough and tumble man. Wearing a voluminous white pinstriped work shirt he has a very aggressive look on his face. You certainly wouldn’t want to fight him in a bar! He wears a great work hat that offers added dimension in its structure under the brim and his shirt is accentuated with a lovely blue tie. The image is in very good condition with nice tones and contrast. He has some tinting to his face and hands. There is some loss and crazing in the black backing. It is housed in half of a case.
