Vintage Tintype Post Mortem Sleep Laying Glass Frame Case Child

This unique vintage photograph captures a peaceful scene of a young child resting or dead on a blanket, surrounded by loved ones. The black and white image is set in a beautiful glass and metal framing, making it a must-have for any collector of antique photographs.

The subject matter of this tintype photograph is both touching and historical, showcasing a glimpse of domestic and family life from a bygone era. The image features a person, might be African American and including a deceased or very sick child, portrayed in a respectful and dignified manner.

It is a valuable addition to any collection of vintage photographs, offering a glimpse into the past and the themes of love, community life, and cultural practices. 3 1/8" x 3 5/8" 3/4 thick.

I took apart the frame and found a name marked Dean and Emerson from Massachusetts with a patent pending also looks like a name pressed into the copper frame. I took 12 more photos and it does stick to a magnet so I say it's a tintype. If you have any questions just text me.
