- Lot Description
Quarter plate tintype features an intriguing multigraph image, often referred to as "The Man with Many Faces." The photograph creatively uses mirrors to capture multiple reflections of a single man, resulting in a captivating visual effect where the subject appears several times within the same frame. This artistic technique was popular during the late 19th century, showcasing the photographer's skill in composition and the subject's willingness to engage in a playful, yet thoughtful, portrait.
The man, dressed in a formal suit, sits confidently on a stool, with his reflections meticulously positioned to create the illusion of a group of identical men. The overall effect is both striking and thought-provoking, offering a glimpse into the experimental nature of photography during this period.
The tintype shows a notable bend in the middle, which does not significantly detract from the overall image but is visible upon close inspection. The image itself remains clear and well-defined, with minimal surface wear. The edges of the plate show some wear consistent with age. - Provenance
