    "Reverse painting on glass is an art form consisting of applying paint to a piece of glass and then viewing the image by turning the glass over and looking through the glass at the image."

    I think someone laid the glass over the tintype and painted on the glass. Once dry, turned it over and framed it.

    HEY HEY LET'S STICK TO THE TOPIC.....uh....what was that topic again?

    ;)

    We can't be all bad when a mod (me for instance) is likely to be the first to drag any given thread waaaaay off topic without batting an eyelash :cool:.

    ...and now back to the WW I photo of Sgt. York....or whatever....
