Lot Description

[EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY]. Quarter plate tintype family portrait taken in an outdoor studio tent.

Landscape-oriented family portrait centering on a heavily-bearded yet balding man wearing a dark jacket and with a cloth bandage wrapped around his thumb. He is surrounded by three younger females, each of whom wears a morose expression. The group poses in front of what appears to be the wall of a tent or large, plain cloth backdrop with visible creases and ripples. (Texture/possible residue throughout image, few minor blemishes otherwise; unsealed.) Housed in a half leatherette case. Later note behind image tentatively identifies subjects.

Early Photography Collection of Jules Martino, Silverton, Oregon
