North America, ca. 1840 to 1900 CE. Two antique photographs. The larger photo, a tintype photograph, shows a bearded man with his arm resting upon his knee and his hand placed inside the fold of his jacket. The other photo, an ambrotype, portrays a gentle-faced woman with her hands resting together in her lap and her dark hair placed up in a bonnet. Both photos are framed by embossed brass panels inside folding leather cases with red velvet interiors and protective glass panes. The leather frame with the woman locks with a release-button clasp, and that of the man securely closes with two exterior metal hook/loop combos. Size of man's case: 0.5" L x 3.125" W x 3.75" H (1.3 cm x 7.9 cm x 9.5 cm); size of woman's frame: 0.5" L x 2.375" W x 3" H (1.3 cm x 6 cm x 7.6 cm).
