victorian photos


Does anyone have any knowledge of the value of a yard sale find of a plate camera from mid 1800's using glass negatives? Purchased this photo framed in a leather frame of a woman (similiar to Whistler's mother)sitting. There is oval matting on the glass with the photo. In the back of the frame was a business type card from Art Treasures Portrait Gallery, Prospect Hill, Douglas Isle of Man Ireland - Photographers Wane & Rothwell. Some internet research revealed the photographer is Marshall Wane. Is this a valuable find? Pamela
