c. 1880 Early American Cased Tintype Photograph of a “determined” looking Woman Suffragette wearing her hat and “uniform” of the period, including a very prominent Badge and Printed Sash with a small book in her hand, Original Case, Choice Fine. The Oval Tintype Photograph measures 2.75” x 2.5” (by sight) housed in its decorative gilt interior metal frame, the outer case having some surface scrapes and wear, its brass clasp is intact. No date, place or maker. This woman Suffragette is shown dressed perfectly, wearing her Badge and a Printed Sash with text which we are not able to clearly read. The image contrast is strong, a few scattered irregularities seen in the upper left field. An intriguing tintype photograph. |
