Full-plate framed studio tintype. N.p.N.d. Frame: 14 1/2 x 12 1/2 in. Tintype visible: 7 1/2 x 9 1/3 in. 

An intriguing photo of an African American gentleman, supposedly in a post-mortem state. He is dressed in a fine suit with a bowtie at his collar. A neatly trimmed beard lines his face, and his eyes are in a squinting-like state. Perhaps the image of a loved one, taken after his passing.
