Description
Two tintype portrait images framed in a hinged, brown protective case. The case is embossed leatherette with leather spine. Frames have a glass cover plate and a thin embossed brass mat, folded into a thin preserver frame. Images are cloudy black and white and imprinted onto a magnetic black iron support.
Left framed image of a seated woman and a young girl seated next to her. Both wearing pendants that are hand-colored gold. Woman is wearing a lace collar and pin-tucked taffeta dress with her hair pulled back tight. The girl is wearing a wide collar over a checkered taffeta dress and her hair braided over her ears and pulled back tight.
Image on the right is a portrait of a seated man and woman. They both are wearing jewelry that have been hand-colored gold. Her cheeks are also hand-colored pink. The man is seated on the left with his hands on his knees and wearing a long unbuttoned suit coat with wide, velvet collar and wide lapels over a high-necked waistcoat vest with button closures. She is wearing a lace scalloped collar over a pin-tucked taffeta dress with her hair pulled back tight.
