Lot Description
[EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY]. Sixth plate tintype featuring two elegant ladies.

Sixth plate standing portrait of a pair of elegantly dressed women. (Image with great clarity, some wear to edges, spotting to mat; unsealed.) Housed in a geometric Union case [Berg 3-67] (some nicking and chipping to edges, corners, and raised surfaces, with surface soiling). Pencil inscribed notes behind image identify the "lady at the left" as "Mrs. Dykeman." The women stand against what appears to be an elaborately painted studio backdrop featuring pillars and decorative glass windows.
