Curious Hand-tinted Tintype of Photograph of Young Man Pinned to Wall steel lots of sweet details likeAs 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.
