- Lot Description
A finely crafted thermoplastic case features an intricate design inspired by the "Voyage of Life" theme, a popular 19th-century allegorical subject. The detailed relief on the case depicts the stages of human life, symbolizing the journey from birth through adulthood to old age, with elements that reflect the challenges and triumphs encountered along the way. The case houses an ambrotype of a woman.
The craftsmanship of this case is particularly notable, with high-relief details that bring the allegorical figures to life. The dark, rich color of the thermoplastic material enhances the depth and texture of the scene, making it both a protective and decorative piece for housing daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, or other photographic treasures of the period. - Provenance
