Amos Muchler Farm, Southern Vermont [USA]

c1890s. Tintype, titled in pencil verso, 15.5 x 20.8cm. Emulsion loss, scuffing and faded hand-colouring to lower portion, minor dents and rust.

This tintype shows a grand farm house with three women and a dog in the front garden, and a partially obscured person seated on the porch.

A tintype is a photograph made on a sensitised metallic base (not tin). An image could be developed and fixed in a few minutes, making tintypes a popular and affordable process during the 19th century. Ref: Wiki.
