1850s Ambrotype of Goold Adams

Half plate ambrotype by Charles Clarkington of Goold Adams, circa 1857.

Clarkington was a daguerreotype and ambrotype photographer and his colour ambrotypes were admired.

The sitter is identified by a label on the case as 'a Goold Adams'.
The sitter has a military look about him, and it is likely that he is one of two Irish men:
Michael Goold Adams who was in the 2nd Dragoons in the early 1840s, and the Special Service in 1855
Or
Samuel Goold Adams who was in the 10th Foot Regiment in 1837.

Clarkington's Photographic Establishment, 69 Quadrant, Regent Street, London.
