RARE OCCUPATIONAL 1/6 PLATE TINTYPE - A PHOTOGRAPH WAY AHEAD OF IT\'S DAY - READ: $395.00
RARE OCCUPATIONAL 1/6 PLATE TINTYPE - A PHOTOGRAPH WAY AHEAD OF IT\'S DAY - READ! - As a longtime photgrapher, collector and student of photography history I wish to explain why I believe this image is far ahead of its time. One, the image was clearly taken through the window of a factory, making this an early occupational of several female workers. Two, the image was made way before the renown photographer named Lewis Hine who would later use his photographs to help create the social change for American workers and Child Labor Laws. And three, the angle in which this image was taken and the composition of a window within a window is so advanced photographically for its time. I would say this image could be compared to Alfred Stieglitz photo entitled, \"The Steerage.\" Please look up this legendary Stieglitz photo online to see all that has been written on the importance of his composition. In addition, if you look closely at each pane of glass, you will see they are all abstractions surrounded by each section the window frame. Any serious student of photography will truly see the beauty and significance of this amazing tintype. Good luck to the winner of this spectacular photograph.
CONDITION:Please view my detailed photos for the actual condition of the image and as part of my description. The CDV size plate contains excellent contrast, tonal range and sharpness. I have included a closeup image to assist all buyers in viewing this image. The photo has typical surface wear consistent with age. Although the plate is trimmed and is not square, I believe its shape reflects the shape of the bricks of the building and actually adds to the images overall beauty. I am sure this important photograph will be cherished by any serious collector of early American photography.
