<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 2957004, member: 33&quot;]I agree with all of these comments. Exactly my perceptions. The frame around the picture definitely is from the late 1850s or (more likely) 1860s. As soon as I saw it I thought ambrotype. It could be a tintype, though. I suspect it also dates from the same period as the frame. Although tintypes continued to be made into the early 20th century, by then they were mostly cheap ones done at tourist venues. So your relative would not have created it, but probably collected it. It is a wonderful image, by the way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
