A Shy Hidden Mother Revealed - Small Tintype Out of the Mat by Photo_History on Flickr.

When the mat was removed from the small tintype we see the face of the woman holding the baby. She leans away and looks down. Perhaps it was an attempt to stay out of the frame although her large buttons still give her away.

A Tintype of a House with Seven Children and a Large Dog by Photo_History on Flickr.

We did not attend our usual mounty antique show since they have moved to a venue with $10 parking. We did attend a different smaller show and found four images - three tintypes and one postcard.

This 5X7 inch tintype of a house behind a picket fence includes seven children and a large dog. I was only half listening to the dealer while I was puzzling over the decision to buy it but I remember that he said it came from a woman who was a member of a propionate family in the Indian Territory (Oklahoma) who also lived in Virginia at one time. I have no confidence in my memory. I do think it is special. I am posting a detail to show the children and dog.

This is a detail of a 5X7 inch tintype of a house behind a picket fence which includes seven children and a large dog. I was only half listening to the dealer while I was puzzling over the decision to buy it but I remember that he said it came from a woman who was a member of a prominent family in the Indian Territory (Oklahoma) who also lived in Virginia at one time. I have no confidence in my memory. I do think it is special. I am linking to the full tintype below.
