Image of Unknown: photographer's dark wagon and black boy, USA ca. 1870

A hand tinted stereo view with a lot of nice and beautiful details. First of all the photographer's dark wagon is at the left side of the image. Near this portable dark room stands an African American boy. Is he helping the photographer? Or does he live there and just come to watch the photographer at work? Also the composition is lovely. A dog lies on the left of the photo and another one on the road. At the bottom right are three cats sitting in the grass. Near the building stands a man with horse and cart. So much interesting details!

The albumen print on the left is in good condition. The one on the right is slightly damaged. Despite this it still is an unusual and lovely stereo view.

ca. 8,7 x 17,6 cm
