While most early photo processes involved paper or light metal plates, tintypes (aka ferrotypes) used a sheet of thin iron. Patented in 1856, tintypes are recognizable by their yellowish color and small sizes. The smallest plates are called gem tintypes, and are common in lockets or jewelry. Like daguerreotypes, they tend to tarnish easily. This medium was popular for many years, due to its higher developing speed and easy-to-clip material, making it ideal for framing.
From Mathew Brady’s Civil War photos to Ansel Adams’ nature work to Irving Penn’s magazine shots, photography since its inception has been highly collectible. This page focuses on some early forms: photogravure, daguerreotypes, tintypes, ambrotypes and CDVs (cartes de visite).
