| Unidentified 1870's Man |
Today's tintype is an example of a tintype packaged in a sleeve simulating a picture frame. The subject is a very handsome, unidentified young man with blonde hair. He appears to be well-dressed and in the photo his cheeks are slightly tinted pink. I daresay he was quite popular with the ladies and the lucky recipients of this photograph were very happy to have it. I estimate this photo to have been taken in the early 1870's, perhaps 1872 give or take a year.
I'm so glad you posted this tintype in a sleeve that looks like a frame. I have several that look similar to this one and I have wondered how to date them in order to narrow down which ancestor they might be.
ReplyDeleteYou can actually narrow down the date more by the type of sleeve used.
