Cased ambrotype portrait of Miss Melita Fraser, ca. 1862. She is seated, wearing a pink skirt, white blouse, medium-coloured cape, dark hat and ribbon cameo necklace. Melita Fraser was an artist (see Art 69). A Melita Fraser (1835-1909) who died in Vancouver, BC is the right age to possibly be the woman depicted here. The case is constructed of wood with black paper covering embossed with cross variation design on front and back. Red embossed velvet cushion, plain brass mat and ornate preserver frame interior.
