- Lot Description
An sixth plate ambrotype captures a driver standing proudly beside his horse-drawn cart. The photograph presents a classic rural scene, with the young driver holding the reins of a sturdy horse, ready for the journey ahead. The cart, with its simple yet functional design, is clearly visible in the background, providing a glimpse into the transportation methods of the 19th century.
The driver, dressed in a jacket and hat, exudes a sense of quiet confidence. His serious expression and strong posture reflect the importance of his role in the community, whether for transporting goods or people. The horse, well-groomed and strong, stands patiently beside him, adding to the overall sense of readiness and purpose in the image.
The ambrotype is beautifully framed in an ornate gold mat, which enhances the depth and detail of the image. The photograph has retained its clarity, allowing viewers to appreciate the textures of the driver's clothing, the horse's harness, and the cart's wooden wheels. - Provenance
