02-011; Young child, Post Mortem
1860-1869
Janet E. Finley Collection of Quilt History Photographs
Cased Tintype, dated 1863
Photographer: Unknown
Size: Fourth Plate (3.125" x 4.125")
Civil War era post mortem photographs with a quilt are rare. A Four Patch quilt is draped behind this sweet child. When the tintype is popped out of its case to reveal the interior, the date, 1863, along with $2-1/2 -- 5.00 (presumably the photographer's bill) is found written on the back. The child has tinted cheeks.
