Tintypes, collection of 32

Ca. 1860-1870. All portraits, var. sizes, many in simple paper mats (in a precursor style to the cabinet card). American; many paper mats w. addresses of photographers in a.o. Baltimore (Maryland), New York and Pennsylvania (and one for 'Ferreotypes at Frank Z. Fritz's Photograph Traveling Gallery'). Incl. images of families, children and adults, most taken in a studio/ a staged setting. A few w. some handcol. detailing.

Subtle scratches and slight defects. (total 32) *Tintypes were a widely favored form of photography due to its relative simplicity and cost-effectiveness. A photographer could prepare, expose, develop, and varnish a tintype plate, presenting it to the customer within minutes.
