Zaccheus was 34 years old in 1860 and Drusilla was 29.
Ambrotypes are glass plates supporting a collodion image. By 1860 daguerreotypes had been replaced by this process. The pictures here are mounted in a small wooden and leather case with a glass cover on the front.
The picture of Drusilla is in poor condition. The image itself is fine but the black backing on the glass is flaking off. This is a common problem with ambryotypes.
Credit: These ambrotypes were in the possession of Howard Benjamin Test and are now pssessed by Robert W. Test who scanned them on 10/18/1999.
