A touching Civil War-date, 1/6th plate tintype of a seated young black female, perhaps only fourteen, holding a small white child in her lap. Lovingly, she puts her hand on his hip to keep him from falling. The photographer has tinted the child's dress reddish pink giving the image a nice appearance. Framed with a brass mat, frame, glass, and housed in a half leatherette case. Some spotting affects the emulsion, else very good.
