Description: Up for sale is an authentic, original mid-19th-century ninth-plate tintype portrait of a sharp, well-dressed gentleman dating to the Civil War era or early 1870s. The portrait captures a dapper young man with a wonderfully detailed, stylized goatee and mustache, an immaculate side-parted hairstyle, and a high-collared civilian coat paired with a patterned bowtie. The image is presented in its original, highly ornate stamped brass mat with intricate floral corner motifs, surrounded by its original protective brass preserver frame. The reverse of the plate is exposed, showcasing the classic, authentic oxidation, darkening, and raw iron texture that verifies this as a true antique ferrotype. Condition Details: The Image: Strong contrast and very clear facial details. There are a few localized flakes and small spots of emulsion loss on the plate (notably a tiny speck near his eye/cheek, a few spots in the gray background field, and a small flake on his right shoulder area). These are typical of an early iron-plate photo and do not detract from his striking expression. The Frame/Mat: The front brass mat and outer preserver frame retain an exceptionally bright, rich gold luster with crisp stamped details and only minor age patina/oxidation on the edges. Housing: This listing includes the tintype plate, brass mat, and brass preserver frame as pictured. It does not come with an outer leatherette or thermoplastic case. Approximate Dimensions (Ninth-Plate): 2 inches x 2.5 inches A fantastic addition to any collection of 19th-century photography, Civil War-era Americana, or historical oddities and ephemera. It has a great look for a tabletop easel display or framed shadowbox layout. Please review all high-resolution photos carefully to evaluate the condition details and dapper character of this antique plate. Shipping & Handling: Shipped with rigid cardboard protection to ensure the plate and brass framing do not bend or suffer further emulsion flaking during transit.
