Original 19th-century tintype photograph featuring a well-dressed Victorian woman, presented in an ornate embossed paper frame.

This piece is especially interesting for its photographer’s advertising back, showing a detailed price list from Russell & Coffin, located at 183 & 185 8th Avenue, New York. The printed pricing and studio information offer a fascinating glimpse into early photographic business practices.

The portrait itself captures a young woman wearing a decorative hat and necklace, typical of mid-to-late 1800s fashion.
