PROVENANCE: none really. This came in a collection of other tintypes and cabinet card photographs of African Americans, with a few of the later photos indicating they were taken in New Orleans and Waco, Texas. There is no indication as to whether these were family photos, or photos collected by an individual. This photograph depicts a young man, seated presumably in a studio, wearing what appears to be a pinstriped suit coat over a vest, with a white shirt underneath. The photo is in FAIR condition. Several small areas have worn away from the photo, revealing the metal beneath, especially at the corners, leaving some rusting. It appears some cracking or crazing to the photo layer on the tin backing has occurred. The photo is a bit soiled and rather faded. The reverse of the metal is tarnished, soiled and somewhat worn. Corners are clipped. Fair .
