A CDV-sized tintype offers a rare and captivating glimpse into outdoor leisure during the late 19th century. The photograph captures a couple seated outside their tent, engaging in leisurely activities while camping at San Juan Hot Springs, California, in 1877. The couple appears relaxed and comfortable, with the man reading a book and the woman seated with her hands resting on her lap, perhaps enjoying the tranquility of the natural surroundings.
The tent, pitched securely in what appears to be a wooded area, is modest yet well-organized, with bedding neatly arranged inside, indicating a well-planned camping excursion. The couple's attire, typical of the era, adds an element of charm and historical context to the image.
The tintype is mounted in an ornate card with red decorative borders, enhancing its presentation and preserving its condition over the years. The handwritten date "1877" at the top adds a personal touch, linking this serene moment to a specific time and place in history.
