Another tintype where again I'm not sure who the young lady is. Could the image have a clean up please & a date for when it was taken would be a great help.

That's a great restore DrDude - thanks so much. The original image was very dark & marked so this is quite a transformation. It looks an odd setting for a portrait  :-\

Glad you're happy.

The setting is unusual to be sure. I'm curious if this is a postmortem photo. Many people do have that gaunt look in photos of the time, however, the total composition of the photo does pose that as a possibility. If so, it could have been done at the mortuary or embalmers right before final preparations were done.

If it's not a PM photo, I'd have to say she doesn't necessarily look sad as she does exhausted.

Wow! I hadn't considered that she might be deceased - she certainly looks unwell & I am questioning why you would have such an unflattering image taken. Would it be usual to have the eyes 'open' in PM photo?
