Stephen A. Douglas: Ambrotype Portrait in Case
<B>Stephen A. Douglas: Massive Ambrotype Portrait in Spectacular Condition.</B></I> In the baseball card hobby, this would be termed a "blazer". Both the ambrotype and its thermoplastic case are in virtually mint condition. For strictest accuracy, we note a minor discoloration at the very bottom visible part of Douglas's coat which detracts little, if at all, from its eye-catching appeal. Douglas's image is from a well-known 1860 campaign engraving. One must really see this piece "in person" to fully appreciate the powerful statement it makes. The image itself measures 2.5" x 3.25" and overall the case measures 8.25" x 5" when displayed open. <I>From the Stanley King collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Small Flat (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
