- Lot Description
A CDV-sized tintype captures a rare outdoor scene of a traveling photographer's wagon. The image showcases the photographer standing in the doorway of the wagon, which is mounted on large wooden wheels, signifying its mobility. This portable studio on wheels was a vital tool for photographers of the era, allowing them to bring their services to various towns and rural areas.
The tintype offers a unique glimpse into the life of itinerant photographers in the 19th century, who played an essential role in documenting everyday life and significant events across the country. The image is well-preserved, with clear details of the wagon's construction and the surrounding environment. This piece would make an exceptional addition to any collection focused on early photography, Americana, or the history of the photographic profession. - Provenance
