Original tintype, post mortem boy in chair, early-1860s, sixth-plate in half of its original case behind mat and cover glass. Very good or better antique condition as far as damage goes, with no bends. The image itself looks a bit shadowy in my indoor office lighting, but the details improve a lot in bright light or daylight... Pic #2 is a scan.

If you anticipate this image will look somewhere in between Pic 1 and Pic 2 you will not be disappointed. From The Thanatos Archive Post Mortem Photo Collection. This item is in the category "Collectibles\Photographic Images\Photographs". The seller is "jack_mord" and is located in this country: US.

This item can be shipped to United States.
