Up for sale is a captivating, authentic late 19th-century large-format tintype photograph capturing a young child in a studio setting. Unlike the common small pocket tintypes of the era, this is a scarce Full-Plate scale portrait , presenting wonderful visual detail and exceptional historical charm. Historical & Presentation Highlights: The Image: As beautifully captured in TT Full Plate Child.jpg , the portrait features a child with a striking, serious expression dressed in a bold Victorian plaid dress with ruffled sleeves, visible lace undergarments, and high white stockings. They are posed on an elaborate 1870s photographer's wicker chair next to a heavily patterned, draped table. Artisanal Hand-Tinting: The photographer carefully hand-painted a vibrant gold finish onto the child's woven necklace and large circular medallion/pendant ( TT Full Plate Child 5.jpg ), which still glints beautifully when catching the light. Original Presentation: The plate remains housed in its original heavy off-white paper display mat featuring an elegant embossed gold oval frame border as shown in TT Full Plate Child 4.jpg . Condition Report: The Tintype Plate: The image retains strong contrast and deep dark tones. The central portrait area is free of major bends or deep scratches, with only minor surface age characteristics typical of an authentic 150-year-old ferrotype. The Paper Mount: As shown on the reverse side in TT Full Plate Child 2.jpg , the plate is securely attached to its original mat. The outer cardstock mat shows its age with expected edge wear, chipping, light foxing, and small tears along the perimeter ( TT Full Plate Child 3.jpg ). This wear is entirely confined to the outer margins and does not encroach on the gorgeous oval image. It is ready to be framed behind a standard mat to hide the outer edge wear if desired. This is a centerpiece-worthy addition to any collection of early American photography, Victorian social history, or folk art. Condition: Used.
