This lovely little tintype is trimmed and has an unusual but beautiful composition. It's rather rare in 19th century photographs to cut someone off in an image.

The lady holds a cat on here knees. She has tinted cheeks. The young boy is slightly off focus but holds a very nice pose.

ca. 6,3 x 0,31 cm
