Very Rare 1/6 Plate Tintype Child Holding Doll In Oval Thermoplastic Case
VERY RARE 1/6 PLATE TINTYPE - CHILD HOLDING DOLL - IN OVAL THERMOPLASTIC CASE - In all my years of collecting 19th Century photographs containing dolls I have only seen one or two other examples where the doll was captured unclothed making this a rare historical photograph. You are able to see the muslin body construction of the doll. The sixth plate tintype resides in a near mint condition thermoplastic case. A truly spectacular cased image would be enjoyed by any antique doll or photo collector Good luck to my lucky winner and next caretaker of this rare offering. CONDITION : Please view my detailed photos for the actual condition of the image and as part of my description. The sixth plate tintype contains excellent contrast, tonal range and superb sharpness. The case would be considered mint if not for the fact that the male portion of the clasp is missing and no longer holds the case closed securely, however, the case is cosmetically free of any damage. The interior has a beautiful maroon colored pillow and the hinge system is tight and in working order. Overall, a true piece of doll history.
