Union case by A.P. Critchlow & Co, image of a rich man with a horse giving charity to three poor figures with a dog. Daguerreotype: hand coloured three-quarter length portrait of a seated woman wearing spectacles. She wears a long sleeved black dress with blouse front, brooch at the neck. She wears a long thin chain around her neck to which a cameo is attached. She wears a wedding ring. Her left elbow rests on a table covered with a tablecloth with her left hand hanging over the edge, which her right hand clasps in her lap. Her hair is worn in a middle parting with hanging ringlets held back by hair pins. She sits on a high backed carved chair. In the background there is a painted backdrop of a keyboard instrument with sheet music.
