- Lot Description
An impressive mammoth plate ambrotype captures a serene and idyllic scene of a mother and child in front of their home. The house, a two-story wooden structure with intricate ironwork on the porch, is framed by a picket fence, with the mother standing on the porch, observing her child who is engaged in play. The child is seen pushing a small cart with a doll, adding a charming and personal touch to the image.
The mother stands with a calm demeanor, perhaps watching over her child as they play. Her dress is typical of the era, and her presence adds a sense of domestic tranquility to the scene. The child is pushing a small cart with a doll in it, a playful and endearing detail that enhances the warmth of the image.
The home itself is an excellent example of mid-19th century architecture, with its two stories, wooden siding, and decorative ironwork on the porch. The windows are shuttered, and the well-maintained garden suggests a family of some means and attention to detail. The presence of the picket fence adds to the quintessential image of a peaceful domestic life.Measures about 8" by 10"
