Exceptional Quarter Plate Ambrotype of an Identified Pattern Maker in his Shop
Quarter plate ambrotype of a pattern maker working in his shop, with an assortment of tools serving as the backdrop. The light casts on the gentleman's worn face as his rough hands work a file and a spoke. Accompanying the image is a lock of hair and a period, handwritten note that reads: Grandpa George Kimball in his shop. Probably taken in Fitchburg, MA about 1860. Housed in full, pressed paper case.
Although limited information is available regarding the subject, research indicates that George A. Kimball was born in Rhode Island in 1819. In the 1870 census, Kimball listed himself as a "manufacturer of wooden goods."Condition
Some flaking of the varnish, otherwise the details in the image are quite clear. Case has undergone some surface wear.
