Post-Mortem Tintype of Young Man, Choice Fine.
3.7" x 3.25" wooden composition case with calf skin, embossed covers. Tintype with gilt foil oval mat and image of the head and upper body of a dead young man--with his eyes wide open! Tintype with a few scratches, mostly on the background area (none on the face). Quite a grim visage! Plush, velvet-lined case with minor scuffing and wear.
