Lot Description

[EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY]. Tintype portrait of a little girl posed with stereoviews, viewer, and photo album.

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.

This lot is located in Cincinnati.
