1840’s Collection 42 Photographs in Custom Spring Loaded Antique Picture Frame

About the Item

An antique, American Empire era hand made picture frame cabinet containing a collection of forty two black and white photographic images, which could very well be all images of an extended family. Each photograph measures approximately 2.25" wide by 3.5" high, there are forty two photographs presented in a grid style of six rows and seven columns. This, quite possibly complete at the time, family record is a true moment in history. The black and white photographic images are each presented behind a piece of cut glass. Behind the glass and image, is a spring keeping the glass and image pressed against the wood frame and against the wood backing boards. This is a true piece of history.
