Authentic antique ferrotype (tintype) photograph dating to circa 1880–1910. This quarter plate size image (approx. 4 x 2.5 inches) captures a striking family portrait of a seated woman with three children, posed formally against a painted studio backdrop.
Tintypes, made by exposing a direct positive image onto a thin iron plate coated with dark lacquer, were a popular and affordable form of portraiture in the Victorian and Edwardian eras. This example shows the durability and charm of the medium, with strong detail still visible despite natural age-related wear. The back of the plate shows oxidation typical of its age.
A fine collectible piece of early photographic history, ideal for collectors of 19th-century portraiture, family imagery, or vernacular photography.
Dimensions: 4 x 2.5 in. (Quarter plate)
Condition: Moderate age wear, oxidation on verso, but image remains clear.
