Photograph

19th century tintype photograph of African American man in full case. Size 3.5" x 4." A young African American man wears a suit, bowtie, buttoned vest, pocket watch hanging from his trousers, and a cap common of the era. Beside him is a homemade artisanal hay drying rack built from branches; he rests an elbow on the top of it, possibly proud of his creation. On one hand, he wears a glove; the other hand is bare, holding the spare glove. Tintype is housed in a case, fully separated at hinges. Floral metallic copper-colored mat. Very clear image in good to very good condition.
