1/6 pl Tintype girl w chair & sausage curls in strange downward view Tin Type, w paper frame with oval opening.


This is a really unusual view. I feel almost like I'm watching a stage play or something from the rafters! The girl stands tall next to her chair, with  her hair in sausage curls. Her dark dress with mutton chop sleeves is accented by flowers at the throat.

Light surface scratching. Paper frame is open at the side and has some paper missing from reverse.


Photo in frame measures 4.5 x 2.75 inches. Tin measures 3.5 x 2.25 inches


My mother was a photographer who collected antique photos of all types for years. As I am settling her estate, I will be listing these photos as quickly as I am able.

There are hundreds of photos to go through, and I am trying to match any information my mother may have left with individual photos. Unfortunately, Mom had dementia at the end of her life and wasn't able to tell me much about her collection. She had done a lot of research into photographers and individual pieces in her collection, and often, but not always, filed her research with the photo(s). I search for more information on the internet and in history books, but it's a slow process and it will take me a long time to complete the sorting and selling process.

I am always happy to combine shipping on multiple purchases, so please check out my other listings.


I will ship as soon as I receive payment.
