Lot 30

Strong sixth-plate amber glass ambrotype of a writer. Seen at his large desk putting pen to paper, he is perfectly posed. There’s an element of surprise in his appearance but also a sense of distraction from being disturbed. He seems to be a focused gentleman full of confidence as his hand grabs his jacket in a power move. This sharp image is in very good plus condition with great tones and contrast. There is some light hand tinting to the writer’s face and there are some wear/light mat marks as seen. The image is housed in half of a case.
