    Description

    This is a very handsome couple.
    The man looks at us in a somewhat reserved manner. He wears an oversized tie, which has a gold clip on it. His cheeks have been highlighted red.
    The woman is equally reserved. She wears red ribbon in her hair, along with a red coral necklace, long gold earrings, and other assorted jewelry.
    Matching mats and preservers tell us that they were, indeed, a couple.
    SIZE. Sixth plate.
    HOUSING. This is case #1-116, 'The Deer and the Pine Tree,' in
    Nineteenth Century Photographic Cases and Wall Frames
    , by Paul Berg. This is case # 167, 'The Deer and the Pine Tree,' in
    Union Cases
    , by Krainik, Krainik, and Walvoord. The double case is attractive and in good condition. However, the clasp does not work and the case does not close all the way, probably due to one of the ambrotypes protruding a tiny bit.
    CONDITION. They’re both in very good condition.
    APPEARANCE. Interesting portraits. Very good contrast. Very good clarity. Color is a plus.
