| The picture below shows a larger view of this 1800s Tintype Photograph of A Man In A Suit and Tie In Original Paper Frame Folder. This is about a 1/6 plate photo. The man all dressed in antique or vintage clothing. He is wearing a suit and a bow tie. A pocket watch chain that can be seen. This tintype photograph was acquired from an old estate with many more older photographs dating back as far as the Civil War to the early 1900s, including many tintypes, carte de visite (CDV), and cabinet cards. The people are not identified, however, the majority of photographs were of people who were probably related, and lived in Rochester, New Hampshire, and Bangor, Maine. This old photograph is still in it's original paper frame folder. It is marked on the paper folder as follows: T. R. BURNHAM,
PHOTOGRAPHER,
351 WASHINGTON STREET,
BOSTON. The tin photo measures about 2-3/8'' x 3-11/16'' and the paper frame folder measures about 2-15/16'' x 4-7/16''. The image is very sharp and clean. We are not graders, but it appears to be in excellent or better condition as pictured. The photograph had been well protected since it was taken many years ago. The white spots that are seen on his suit were just dust and are no longer on the photograph. |
