Photograph 1860s – early 1870s In Super Rare Coordinated Frame. A photography antiquarian assessed my tintype as being from the late 1860s or early 1870s. Exceptionally rarely found in. This kind of frame, and even more unusual is that this frame was apparently made specifically for a tintype, and a tintype of this size. Measuring the back of the photo itself, 2 ½” x 3 &7/8″. Measuring the top part, the removable rectangular frame itself, 3″ W x 4 ¾” H. The complete frame, counting the base, width and. 4 ¼”W x 5 and 7/8″ H. Tintypes were patented in 1856. & popular in the Victorian Era. Tintype photo studios were still around into the early 1900s, as a novelty. This was my grandparents. My mom recalls it being around since forever. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Photographic Images\Photographs”. The seller is “brooklyninmybones” and is located in this country: US.
