Antique tintype of a proudly posed young African American man wearing a suit and hat, seated in front of a patterned backdrop. Behind mat and glass in half of a case, which dates to the Civil War period / first half of the 1860s.
Ninth-plate tintype in very good antique condition, some minor age-related flaws are visible under magnification but nothing that jumps out when viewing normally. The case has some wear and structural issues.
