Found Photographs

[ImSoNegative]

I was sent this wartime picture (WW1 or WW2?) by a friend who found it on the internet.

I though you all may be interested.

I assume some will tell us where it was photographed what camera is pictured and what process the camera man is using.

I came across these cool tintypes in my grandparents' estate. I have an e-mail out to all of my family members to identify who they are. The older lady is likely my great grandmother's grandmother. So, my great-great-great grandmother?

Anyway, this has sparked my interest in wet plate or dry plate photography. I may try my hand at dry plate first, with modern emulsions. I understand Bostick & Sullivan has a wet plate kit now!

A tintype I picked up from a shoebox full I bought off eBay for less than $17. This was one of the best and one of the few hand-colored.

I purchased an album of some family's trip to Europe. The album was nice in that it not only had the prints but each print had a sleeve for the negative. The trip began on board the SS Minnetonka and the processing was apparently done on the ship. By the way, the SS Minnetonka was the ship on which Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) returned from Europe. Here are a couple of shipboard scenes:
