Tintype image - need help with dating & some TLC please
« on: Monday 11 June 18 12:58 BST (UK) »
Not my usual image (tintype I believe?) - could anyone give a view on the date range. The dating will help me in trying to work who is in the image.

It would be great to have it 'cleaned' up a little.

Aah - that's great Pat. It's lovely to see more detail in this interesting image thanks to your clean up. Now I just need to work who they are  :-\

Hi Keith...great photo...I would say this was 1880s and the photo is a reverse image...the boys jacket is fastened the wrong way.

Thanks to Carol for reminding me, I have now flipped my image to put it the right way round. It's another great photo, I hope you are able to work out who they are.

Another wonderful portrait, Keith! To me there seems to be a sense of sadness in it. Sadness is fine in a photo but I've tried to balance it with a 'warmer' tint.
