Description
American Faces portraits- photographic images The form of tintype known as a "gem" is a small photographic image usually anywhere from 3/4" to 1" wide and 1¼" high made possible by the use of a multi-lens camera with repeating back which therefore could produce multiple exposures on a single photographic plate. In terms of quantity, the gem was the most prolifically produced form of photograph during the late 1850s-1860s in America. The gem's small size made it suitable for mounting in jewelery such as lockets and broaches. Like daguerreotypes and ambrotypes, hand coloring was also possible and rouging of the subject's cheeks was the most common form of this. Here are 77 gem tintypes on 10 double sided pages. There are 3 empty slots. Entire album is approximately 3 1/2 x 3 1/4 inches. About 63 tintypes are in very good condition. About 8 have various degrees of crazing. Some of these are essentially in good condition, but some in fair condition. About 6 have bends, but still good condition. : Wear to the album, and clasp is missing.
