tinted 1/6 ambrotype photo little boy or girl id'd - probably new york, 1850s outdoor and what appears to beSixth plate uncased ambrotype on ruby glass. Original hand tinting, and a sticker on the top that says, "Grandpa's sister Lizette", though to me they look more like a little boy than girl.. it might be "Grandpa", and not his sister. "Lizette" is almost certainly a member of the Moye family of New York, as this was part of a group of Moye family photos, some with full ID's. Some surface wear as shown. Use hover zoom to examine condition details.
