Group of fifteen mid-19th century cased photographic portraits consisting of tintypes and ambrotypes, each preserved in original hinged cases with gilt mats and red velvet interior pads. The portraits depict men, women, and children posed in formal studio settings typical of American photography of the Civil War era.

Subjects wear period clothing including dresses with fitted bodices, jackets, waistcoats, and children’s garments. Several portraits show family groups or paired sitters, while others are individual portrait studies. One example is housed with a Civil War patriotic style mat, adding a distinctive period element within the group. The cases display a variety of embossed velvet pad designs and decorative gilt mat openings typical of cased photographs of the 1850s–1870s.

All images remain housed in their original protective cases with intact hinges and interior liners. The group offers a varied selection of cased tintype and ambrotype portraits representing the popular photographic formats of the mid-19th century.
