Curious Hand-tinted Tintype of Photograph of Young Man Pinned to Wall steel papered on the back and

papered on the back and strung with a wire for hanging

calling up images of a well-suited man who might have worn it

since the beaver is of course the best wood carver of all

with what looks to be four small nails missing around the top rim

Curious Hand-tinted Tintype of Photograph of Young Man Pinned to Wall steel papered on the back andAs I've written before I really love a photograph of a photograph, and have never come across another tintype like this one, which seems positively post modern as it captures what looks to to be a cdv or cabinet card type photo in situ, pinned or nailed to wood, with hand colored pink cheeks on the portrait to boot. 3 5 8" x 2 7 16" and in very good antique condition.
