Mining Operation, Gold Rush Era [Ambrotype]
Sixth plate outdoor ambrotype. Full leatherette case.
A sharp mining scene showing a behatted figure standing on a steep hill next to a long placer. Among the tall trees is a small log cabin and an outbuilding. The large conifers indicate a western locale for the mining operation, very possibly from the California Gold Rush. A very fine mining image.
