Description
In the process of making a tintype (1855 through the turn of the century), the emulsion was coated onto black-painted tin and then exposed. Since they are not on silver as are the orginal daguerreotypes, the tintypes do not have the reflection that silver casts. Early tintypes can be found in cases, but usually they are loose and not protected as was the case with this one. There also appears to be a partial fingerprint on the corner of this tintype. I do not know who she was, but she belongs to me!
