Issac Kendrick (United States, late-1850s)

Issac Kendrick


Figure 1.-- We know almost nothing about Issac Kendrick, except that he was 10 years old. Here is a 1/9 plate amethyst ambrotype of Issac. We do not know when it was taken, but the late 1850s is the most likely. Nor do we know where Issac lived. Indiana is a possibility because it was sold by a dealer in the sate. Issac wears his hair over his. He wears a dark jacket. Longish hair was common at the time. Unfortunately his collar and neckkwear is not very clear.

We know almost nothing about Issac Kendrick, except that he was 10 years old. Here is a 1/9 plate amethyst ambrotype of Issac. We do not know when it was taken, but the late 1850s is the most likely. We base this primarily on the period in which ambrotypes were the most popular. The hair and clothes also seem right for tht period. The photograph, however, could have been taken any time from the mid-1850s to the early 60s. Nor do we know where Issac lived. Indiana is a possibility because it was sold by a dealer in the sate. Issac wears his hair over his. He wears a dark jacket. Longish hair was common at the time. Unfortunately his coljar and neckkwear is not very clear. Like most ambros, it was housed in a protective case. I am not sure if it is done in leather or guttaperca.
