Wonderful full-plate (8.5” x 6.5”) circa 1870 tintype photo, little boy wearing a tam hat, seated on a fringed posing chair in front of a large studio backdrop. His hand is on the handle of a toy wagon, and lying on the rug at his feet is his dog, who moved a bit during the exposure. Such a great image!
A few bends and craquelure, both common issues, the bends especially so in these large, loose tintypes.
