- Lot Description
A full plate tintype captures a fascinating moment in 19th-century commerce and transportation. The image depicts a salesman standing proudly beside a team of four robust horses, each harnessed to a large, open-top wagon. The wagon, with its high sides and reinforced structure, suggests that it was designed to haul heavy and possibly loose materials that could be easily swept out—perhaps an early precursor to the modern dump truck.<br><br> The photograph offers a glimpse into the working life of the era, with the salesman dressed in attire suitable for outdoor labor, standing next to his heavily loaded wagon. The rural setting, complete with a picket fence and trees in the background, enhances the image's authenticity, reflecting the environment where such trade and transport would have commonly occurred.<br><br> The tintype is well-preserved, showcasing the significant detail in both the horses and the wagon, as well as the surrounding environment. The size of the plate allows for a broader view, giving context to the scale of the operation and the equipment involved.
