Antique Mounted Photo of Three Smiling Young Presumed African American Women (Named on Reverse) hand-colored ambrotype but despite attempting to come

but despite  attempting to come off fierce

as to me the painted houses on it remind me very much of early German Erzgebirge ones

Really a pretty perfect thing

with carved wooden nails at the corners that have held the frame together tightly for a very long time

Antique Mounted Photo of Three Smiling Young Presumed African American Women (Named on Reverse) hand-colored ambrotype but despite attempting to comeWhat a lovely threesome these women make, hands and elbows crossing and resting on one another in a manner that seems to express much love and affection and ease with one another. And what beautiful smiling faces, that also make it seem they have a certain ease with the photographer, too. On the reverse they are named Mrs. Fowler, Mrs. Hutchinson, and Mrs. Ashbury and everything about this photograph makes me want to know all about them. 6" x 3 15
