1/9th-Plate Ambrotype of Older Woman in Mourning, Circa 1855

Although the majority of the details of her clothing are lost, she appears to be wearing a black overcoat and black gloves. Her face and bonnet have survived well, save for one area of damage to the veil, which I have tried to reconstruct.
