Lot Description

BIRD ALERT! A pair of tintype portraits of the same woman holding a dove.

Sixth plate tintype featuring a woman wearing gold-highlighted earrings, a belted dress, and a shawl, holding a dove in her lap. (Few blemishes; portion of original seal remains.) Housed in a back-to-back case together with a sixth plate tintype portrait of a bearded man. -- Sixth plate tintype portrait of the same woman, from the same sitting, holding the same dove in her lap. One of the only very minor differences that can be detected between the two images is the position of the woman's hand, as her wedding ring is clearly visible in this image but not the first one. (Spotting, image a bit dark.) Housed in a half pressed paper case. -- Together, 2 sixth plate tintypes featuring the same woman and her dove. 

Early Photography Collection of Jules Martino, Silverton, Oregon
