c. 1861-1866. Sixth-plate tintype. Brass mat, uncased.
A striking portrait of a young African American male wearing an outlandish top hat. The subject sits at a slight tilt on the photographer's chair, his sharp gingham jacket quite the contrast to his impressive headgear. A candid and very unusual early African American photograph.

Large items, framed pieces, and any item that we are unable to package and ship in-house will be marked in the catalog as being packaged and shipped by a third-party service. Successful bidders winning items marked as being packaged and shipped by a third-party service are responsible for paying the third party directly.
