Lot Description
[EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY]. Unusual sixth plate tintype featuring two portraits of the same gentleman. 
Sixth plate tintype featuring two vignetted oval bust portraits of a an older gentleman, appearing to be from the same exposure. (Light surface punctures from mat, some dust/residue between plate and glass; unsealed.) Housed in a leatherette case (repair to spine). 

The second portrait appears to be identical to the first, though the subject appears rotated ever so slightly clockwise.
