A rare hand colored unframed tintype of two children. This is a post Civil War portrait and is in very nice condition, considering its age. Tintypes, like daguerreotypes, are one-of-a-kind photographs. There is no negative, as the image is exposed directly onto the substrate. The word “tintype” is, in fact, a misnomer, as iron, not tin, was used as the substrate. 6.5 x 8.5 inches. Please see photos for more detail and condition.Date: 1870'sProvenance: Salvatore Falcone Collection
