For your consideration is an antique tintype photo of a precious baby, which is likely post-mortem. During this era there was high infant mortality, plus the cost of photography was high. Often a photo of this sort was the only keepsake a family would have of their infant. This photo is unusual in that the eyes are open. However, due to the long exposure time, it would have been doubtful that a photographer would have been able to photograph a crying or wiggly baby.
Measure 3 x 4 inches.
