Tintypes
Among my paternal grandmother's possessions are several tintype photographs with no provenance dating between the 1880s and early 1900s. I consider us lucky to have them because many family photographs were destroyed in the flooding of 1972's Hurricane Agnes. I only wish I had names to go with faces! These photographs obviously meant something to someone, but we'll probably never know who their subjects were. Alas, they provide a glimpse into lives lived more than a century ago.
