This is a gem tintype (ferrotype). Gem sized tintypes first appeared in 1858. They are very small (usually 3/4 to 1 inch wide) and were made for use in lockets, broaches, and small albums where several could fit on one page. They were the most prolifically produced form of photograph in the 1860's in America.

This tintype is an example of extreme damage. It had corrosion spots, missing places, and scratches on the surface.

The tintype was scanned at a very high resolution. The corrosion spots and scratches were repaired and the missing places were filled in. The extra space at the top was removed. The high resolution scan allowed the image to be resized to produce a larger size picture. Copies were then shared with other family members and the original is now safely stored away.

This photograph was damaged in several places and was stained. It also had glare from the flash of the camera.

The damage was repaired and the stains were removed. The glare from the flash was corrected
