American Historical Ephemera and Early Photography

An delightfully endearing tintype portrait of a young girl with an apparent interest in photographic viewing. 4 x 6 in. (sight), housed in a black and gilt wooden frame. (Image exceptionally clear and sharp; not examined out of the frame.)

The young girl bears the serious expression of a much older, wiser subject. On the table next to her is a stereoviewer, with a few loose stereoviews strewn about, and what appears to be a CDV album. Perhaps the viewer is her favorite "toy" and the album filled with images of her family members, or some prominent personalities of the era.
