with some minor issues

I strongly suspect that the druggist in him couldn't resist giving the dog a little something (and possibly the kid as well) to keep them settled for their portrait

painted gold ring(s) and a pinpricked brooch

a lot of detail on his belt buckle (an eagle)

1/6 Plate Ambrotype Photo of a Standing Dog - Great Antique Image, Late 1850s! CDV with some minor issuesOriginal, late 1850s, circa 1860 ambrotype of dog standing in profile in front of a plain backdrop. To the right you can make out parts of items equipment around the studio. In overall very good antique condition, the main issue being some mat abrasions.. it MIGHT be possible to reset the ambro underneath the mat to conceal most or even all of those abrasions, but I've never tried, to be honest. Boxed shipping.
