Johnnie Hailey (United States, 1850s)


Figure 1.-- The dealer here could not determine the format of this cased portrait. It looks rather like a clor tinted ambrotype to us. The portrait shoes a boy about 6 years old. It is enclosed in a small leather bound 2.5" X 3", single latch case with a velvet interior. The case contains a handwritten note identifying the boy as "Johnnie Haily, Grandma Winklers brother, who died of lockjaw at age 8". It is a little difficult to make out details of the boy's outfit, but he has a white collar. He hasd long hair down to his ears. The portrait is undated, but looks like the 1850s to us.
