Trying to date photo
« on: Monday 24 January 11 09:31 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
This photo was among many I inherited from my aunt. Unofrtunately many were not labelled, I would like to date this photo. It is on metal plate and apologies for the quality the phot itself is rather damaged

Thank you in advance for any information

Alison

An 1880's tintype.possibly a wedding photo as the woman has a corsage & is drawing the viewers attention to her left hand (right hand in this as tintypes are in reverse).
Tintypes at this time were really only used by itinerant photographers & hadn't been used in studios for about a decade,however they were still commonplace in the USA.

Thanks for the help, thought it might be irish but there was family that had gone to the USA so that would fit in.
