    Hello,

    This is my first post so nice to meet everyone. I don't know very much about this photo but it seems to be one I look at over and over. I think it is her gaze.

    I hope to post more soon.

    Thanks for looking.
    Gregory

      Nice image, gregory!

      Your tintype dates from about 1880s- 90s.

      Glad to have another photo collector on board!

      Thanks Scott,

      Now time to learn. How did you date it so fast? or what did you look at to date this photo just now?

      LOOSE tintype with no sign of being cased (size is most likely a little off of the standard "case" sizes) and the hairstyle/ clothing of the woman.

      Welcome to CW Gregory. Hope you post some more pictures. I think she is very lovely - beautiful eyes and mouth. Just wish they were permitted to smile. There's some tartan there - don't know if that is significant.

      I noticed what appears to be tartan too. She has a such a sweet face.
