2 tintypes, approx. 5 x 3 1/2 in., including: Studio view of four men posed together, each wearing practically the same shirt and pants. One of the men holds what appears to be a carpenter square, indicating that this could be a group of carpenters (surface loss to lower margin). -- Studio view of two women, almost certainly housekeepers or cooks, standing at a table with a pitcher, basin, and dishware (wear to edges).
