Someone glued a second generation photo to an old mount and there is no way it is authentic. The hard crease on the lower left is not present on the photo portion which means it was added later, plus the gray-tome image would not have been used in the 1880's. Lastly, the gray colored bordered mounts like it is adhered to did not first become vogue in photography until about 1900-1905 from my experience as an antique photo collector. All signs point to someone trying to make a $100 item out of a $1 photo and a .25 cent mount.
