My friends/colleagues include Scott Gampher (Director Cincinnati Museum Art Center) Linda Bailey also of the CMAC, as with research for Debra Willis book on JP Ball. I have an extensive collection of JP Ball early images nearly 300 ( JP a black freeman African American Photographer Cincinnati, OH 1843) and another 300 of my images by Ball are in the Cincinnati museum from my collection. 20+ years collecting Ball and other early photography. ___ With regards to this ROYAL image FOUND RECENTLY, 6-10-04 Cincinnati, OH USA estate,, We need basic help finding ID of this 1850s Queen or Princess displaying the royal colors blue and red, and maybe white, (colors were hand tinted by the photographer), gold with blue - red tint on the crown, gold tint to jewelry, a gold crown hangs on her necklace. A large image (4x5 inch 3/4 thick) called a 1/4 plate ambrotype in full union case by Littlefield and Parsons Daguerreotypes Case Makers. (Worthy footnote) A photo was taken by JP Ball,, of a Queen/Princess in the 1850s,,, but has yet to surface. We believe this image is a historical find and hope all who see it will try to help id her and her country. Will gladly send other images or view at links above. Behind the image it states the case maker case description,, date made 1876-57 but no info on this lady. With today's technology we hope someone can help locate her origin. Please point us in a direction to solve this mystery woman's identity, we need a photo data base or any known online searchable image collection of Royalty.

Another note: National Archives of the UK, requested several images of her, I sent them by email and hard copies via snail mail and await the UK historians input.
