Antique Ambrotype Photograph Early 1850s Trip to Niagra Falls

Description

Antique Ambrotype Photograph 1851   Trip to Niagara Falls
This is a photograph in original frame of my great great grandparents on Trip to Niagara Falls. They were married in  1851 and this picture was probably taken at sometime between then and 1855.  They were from Plattsburgh, NY.  He fought in the civil war as a private and lived in Plattsburgh until his death in 1902.
I cannot verify this but this photo may have been taken by Photographer Platt D. Babbitt. He was known for his Niagara Falls photographs and this would align in time with my great great grandparents visiting.  I was doing some research on this photo and found a website that stated he set up a pavilion in front of Point View, later Prospect Point, on the American side of Niagara Falls. From here he photographed tourists taking in the view from the 1850s to the 1870s. He would then offer the photographs for sale, providing a lucrative business for himself and giving tourists a chance to own a souvenir of their trip.
I  have taken a photo of the back of the photo so you can see it is imaged on glass with black paint backing
The frame is 7 1/2 x 9 1/2" the photo is approx.  6 x 8"
