Ambrotype Portrait Black Americana Madam Victorian Photograph on Glass Plate

Ambrotype Portrait Black Americana Madam Victorian Photograph on Glass Plate. This portrait appears to be a female Afro Americana / other descent? Dress code is 1880 - 1920 period. She is wearing spectacles and has a dignified smile. I believe this is probably early African / Black /Americana?

She may possible be a madam of the oldest profession? After careful examination and consultation with other collectors I feel that this is African Americana, although others may disagree. Regardless the piece is quite stunning...

Size Portrait: 14 cm x 10 cm x 0.8 cm, Weight 254 grams. Condition: The plate has a chip on the bottom left of the piece (See photo 6).
