- Lot Description
A CDV-sized tintype presents a compelling and rare depiction of two children from the 19th century. The image features a Black African American child holding a White child dressed in a tinted green dress, offering a poignant and intimate view into the social and familial dynamics of the era.
The tintype itself is notably darker than usual, which adds a layer of intrigue and mystery to the image. Despite the darkening, the subjects are still discernible, with the white child's green dress providing a striking contrast. The photograph is housed in a decorative paper frame that complements the historical aesthetic of the piece.
Such images are exceedingly rare, making this tintype a valuable artifact for collectors of early photography, particularly those interested in African American history and the nuanced narratives captured during the 19th century. - Provenance
