Lot Description
[EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY]. GURNEY, Jeremiah (1812-1895), photographer. Full plate ivorytype of family. 

Full plate hand-colored ivorytype. (Small light spot in upper corner). Housed in deep burgundy frame with brass mat and preserver (a few spots of tarnish to brass, some patches of wear to velvet). Photographer's "J.Gurney / 349 Broadway" imprint on brass mat. 

A beautifully detailed and nuanced portrait with expert hand-tinting. Two women are seated with two young girls and an infant, perhaps three generations of women in a family.
