Another Tin Photo to date.
« on: Sunday 29 March 09 20:29 UTC (UK) »
This tin photo is really small about 1" / 3/4". On the back has Steven and Tim. Would like to have it dated. Steven b. 1848 and Tim 1860.

Tintypes were no longer being used by studio photographers by the 1860's but were still being used quite extensively by itinerant photographers in the 1880's/90's because the picture was instant as no negative was produced,the image being imprinted directly onto the metal plate,this is why it's in reverse,you'll notice the man at the front has his jacket buttoned the wrong side.Probably 1880's.

Thank you Jim,

So Steven would be round 30 years old and Tom around 20 years old.
