Sweet antique wedding photograph.
Original tintype 2 1/2" x 4" - circa 1865-1875.
In the original paper frame.
Original tintype 2" x 3 1/4" - circa 1865-1875.
Without original paper frame.
This is the same tintype from my Grandmother's carte de visite family album.
In order to lighten and brighten it, I removed it from the paper frame that was already torn in the back. In the brighter photograph, it is easier to see the bride's lovely little dark and light pink bouquet. She also has something that looks like pink lace at her neck. With magnificaton, I can also see a light blush on her cheeks and ever so little on the groom's.
Of the 19 tintypes in the CDV album, this is the only one which has been highlighted with colour. Unfortunately, there were no names in this little album.
NOTE: In the bottom photo I edited it using Picnik.com.
