<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 2956888, member: 8267&quot;]It looks like the image is a photograph of a drawing. If the support is glass (either dark glass, or painted on the back), it would be an ambrotype. If the support is lacquered metal, it would be a tintype. The preserver and mat (the metal frame parts) are typical of cased photos such as daguerreotypes and ambrotypes dating to the&nbsp; 1860s. The costume of the subject puts him a little earlier, in the 1850s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
