Frowning Girl with Spaniel, Antique Tintype, Framed as Found red ball and a few small moth

and a few small moth nibbles as evident--all of which seem appropriate to me for the armband of a guide who surely had do some sort of bushwhacking

5 5/8" w x 3 5/8" d x 3" t

5 3/8” t x 3 1/4” w x 1 1/2” d

completely endearing her to me even as it somewhat undermines her seductive pose

Frowning Girl with Spaniel, Antique Tintype, Framed as Found red ball and a few small mothThe first photo here shows this tintype framed exactly as I found it with the left corner of the tintype stuck in front of, rather than behind, the paper mat of the frame. I really like the effect, lending a different sort of dynamism to the photo, and with the shape formed evocative of a raindrop or teardrop, perhaps. (Of course one can do what one wishes with it; it will slide in fine behind the mat to be framed with an oval.) Great image I think,
