<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 127532, member: 33&quot;]The photo of the woman sounds like a tintype (called during the period either a ferrotype or a melainotype). Sometimes the emulsion cracks and that is why you see the texture that way. The cracking and the darkness of the image make that one a bit less desirable to collectors than some other tintypes would be.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
