Metal photo needs restoration from the late 1880s
« on: Friday 01 February 13 02:05 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

This is a photograph of my gr grandfather and is printed on a magnetic piece of metal. I think it's a "tinyprint." I would love for it to be restored. Here is a link:

Thanks!

Miniature tintype, developed on iron plate. What a wonderful photo! Be very careful with the image, especially with the magnet, as the image can scratch easily. Also, the image is reversed. I love this photo :)

Cheers,
