Title: Possibly the Stark family in Kentucky
Post by: vicksnb on Thursday 01 February 18 18:24 GMT (UK)
This photo is from my maternal side and is possibly the Stark family in Kentucky.  Could someone date this and possibly clean up the image so I can identify them.  Thank you.

Definitely not a chap I should want to cross... :)

The youngster on the right has something strange going on with his toes??

Thank you all for the clean up.  Any guess as to the age of this?

I would suggest another 1870's Tintype.

I love this photo.
These are the kind of people I admire. The severity of life is written in each face.
I know people were not always able to buy shoes, but I thought that the reason lad on the right didn't have any was perhaps because of his foot. So sad.
I am trying a brush up and tint, but got a bit of trouble at the minute and it may take some time.
