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

Via 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.
