Victorian & Edwardian Cased Tintypes - An assortment of antique photographic portraits dating from the mid-19th to early 20th centuries. The collection includes various early processes including tintypes and paper-based prints, likely albumen or early silver gelatin. The subjects are formal studio portraits of men, women, and children in period dress. Three items are small tintypes housed in embossed brass mats within wood and leather cases, one of which retains its original red velvet-lined interior lid.
