Antique Sixth Plate Tintype Baby Infant Gown Fur Chair Tax Stamp Reverse
This antique sixth plate tintype captures a delicate baby dressed in an elaborate infant gown. The subject is posed seated upon a textured fur chair, a common Victorian studio prop used to stabilize young children during long exposures.
The presence of a tax stamp on the reverse provides a fascinating chronological anchor to the post-Civil War era. Collectors of nineteenth-century photography will value this piece for its intimate focus on domestic life and the historical rarity of the revenue-marked backing.
A poignant glimpse of a child in a fur chair, preserved forever on this tintype.
