<p>[QUOTE="Jerry Coker, post: 4180437, member: 18802"]I'm still pretty new to 19th century photography, but I find tintypes the hardest to identify of all antique photographs, because they were made for quite a few years. Hence, identifying a photo by a subjects clothes, hair styles, etc. seems most important. And unfortunately, I'm not very good at that yet <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":yawn:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Is there a good website that covers both 19th century clothes & hair styles? I'll add a couple tintypes below from a family album I purchased a few months ago. The album did have some names in it, so that has been helpful. But the tintype subjects don't always match the cdv & cabinet subjects. I was originally thinking the 2 tintypes below were from the 1870's to early 1880's, but now I think maybe later? Sorry for my less than stellar photography of these examples. Also, one tintype is not in great shape.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]333959[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]333960[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
