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!

I am Kathleen K. Parker, a native of New Orleans. Over the years, I have worked as a contract venue photographer for AOL-Time Warner, a virtual tour/still photographer for VR National and for individual clients, and a magazine photographer for several publications. In addition, I have college degrees in Computer Graphic Design and English. Today I photograph weddings, especially destination weddings here, other events, landscapes, people, portraits, interesting subjects in general, and, of course, my beloved New Orleans. Street photography and French Quarter photography are two of my favorite subjects!! Thank you for visiting my fine art gallery!
