Item Details
Description
Full-length studio hand-colored tintype portrait of two Black women. Baltimore, Maryland: Leach & Edkins, n.d. CDV-sized. Uncased, with photographer's paper label with "159 Baltimore Street" address affixed to plate verso.
A tintype of two beautifully dressed African American women. Tinting applied to their patterned dresses gives the photo a bold three-dimensional effect. A paper label on the verso identifies the artist as Leach & Edkins, an outfit that operated in Baltimore during the later part of the Civil War era.
This image likely dates to around the time of the passing of the 13th Amendment (1865), which abolished slavery in the United States.
