I am a really big fan of nicely tinted 19th century images.
This is an 1870s loose tintype that was expertly tinted. There is slight facial tinting, but the real star are the flowers in the vase.
This is a step up in quality that is not often seen in these loose images.
That is so cool. I never noticed before now I have to check my own collection of photos. Love the vase too!????
Thanks because. You will see tinting on most 19th century hard images, but it is most often limited to slight face blush.

Such a cool item. Somewhere I remember seeing something about the pink cheeks albeit the colored background. Very nice. Love it.
And the blingy jewelry!
Thanks goodfind-- the tinted cheeks are very common on cdvs and hard images of the era. Tinting beyond the cheeks is much more unusual to find.
