Vintage Ambrotype Still Looks Good

Vintage Ambrotype probably 140-160 years old. The Ambrotype has a black paint on the collodion emulsion side of the glass. There appears to be no damage (flaking)to the collodion only a few small scratches to the black paint. Seems rather archival to me.

Who was she?
Back of Ambrotype, painted area.
Comparing the one I made to hers.

The blacks look deeper on mine. What would they look like in 160 years thou?
