Lot Description

[WESTERN AMERICANA]. 5 tintypes of men playing cards and gambling, incl. gunslingers.

5 loose tintypes, approx. 4 x 2 1/2 in. or smaller, including:

Tintype capturing two men seated at a table, pointing spur-trigger revolvers at each other while holding playing cards in their other opposite hands. The man at right appears to be shoeless. A small, hand-tinted bottle rests on the table between them. -- Tintype showing two men playing cards together. Both of the subjects have revolvers, with the subject at left holding what appears to be a Remington percussion revolver in his lap. -- Portrait of a group of three men seated at a small table, each holding up playing cards. Three spur-trigger revolvers rest on the table in front of them. -- Compelling portrait of a mustachioed gambler seated at a table, slyly pointing to cards laid out in front of him while looking directly at the camera. A shadowy figure appears to stand behind the man, at far right. -- View of two men seated in chairs in a studio setting, each with a bottle containing some type of liquid refreshment. They are shown playing cards while sharing a drink together. Housed in under paper mat (paper backing separated from front of mat).

Together, 5 tintypes.
