Sixth plate ambrotype. (A few minor scratches to lacquer.) Housed in a full geometric thermoplastic case [Berg 3-104] (minor residue).
A humorous image of three young men, two wearing tall top hats and extravagant bowties, sitting at a small table playing cards. The middle figure smokes a cigar and looks on as the other two appear to have a discussion about the hand.
