  		Robert MANSON and Elizabeth Leed Robert would have been 70, and Elizabeth around 65. Ambrotype (Glass sensitized plate). Photographer is probably Alexander Dinnie, who started making ambrotypes in the 1850's in Aberdeen. Could be as late as 1860, after that cart de visits were used commonly as they were cheaper.
