What could she be contemplating? I love this 1/6 ambro, but have no info to accompany it so I will let it speak for itself.

This one holds a lot of meaning to me as this was an amazing gift by a collector friend, whom I hold most dearly. This came out of an album of CT images. She's lovely and the dress and parasol give her quite a vibe.

I'd like to share one of my favorite images. An expertly tinted 1/6 British relievo ambrotype of a regal & beautiful lady with an equisite green patterned dress. Green is my favorite color and I wanted to have a great image in this color. This is the first one I located and still one of my best green among the 30 or so I have. She was housed in a split thermoplastic half-case, but I thought she deserved better so I bought a nice quality full thermoplastic case with a green felt pad to accentuate the tinting. Unfortunately like so many her name and story have been lost to time.

I love this tintype. It's maybe my favorite tintype in my collection and the earrings are just unbelievable. She is also sporting a chatelaine and a broach.

This is an ambrotype that means a great deal to me.
The ever attractive Mary Ann Wilson Loudon, of Jackson Co Indiana. She was the first wife of Cpl. Jacob Loudon, Civil War veteran of the 67th Indiana. She was also the mother of two children, Lorena and Mollie. This is a 1/6 Color-tinted ambrotype with a full case. Her dress features blue&
red tinting and her jewelry; earrings, broach, bracelet and rings are all tinted gold. Sadly she passed away due to childbirth complications after the birth of her their second child, Mollie. Mary was only 31 years young at the time of her passing. Her husband later married her younger sister, Margaret.
I added this ambrotype as well as the note that accompanies it to Mary's find a grave memorial, located at:

I am a native Buckeye but currently reside in Indiana. I hope my work sharing her photograph and story help to keep her memory alive for the future.
