Brooklyn NY c

Overall dimensions: 6 3/4" long x 4 1/2" tall x 1 1/2" deep

with what looks to be four small nails missing around the top rim

leaving it ready for a painter to put to work again

A humble little carving in many senses

Curious Hand-tinted Tintype of Photograph of Young Man Pinned to Wall steel Brooklyn NY cAs I've written before I really love a photograph of a photograph, and have never come across another tintype like this one, which seems positively post modern as it captures what looks to to be a cdv or cabinet card type photo in situ, pinned or nailed to wood, with hand colored pink cheeks on the portrait to boot. 3 5 8" x 2 7 16" and in very good antique condition.
