$140 USDWonderful Sixth Plate Tin Type of Retriever in Leather Case
Collectibles:Photographic:Tin Types Early Photography Ferrotypes:Dog:Retriever
This is a tin type of a dog who I think is a retriever, my favorite kind. It dates to approximately 1880. The pooch is posed standing on his hind legs, which I imagine would be quite difficult considering the relatively long exposure time needed to take such tin types. Such an obedient pet. He is housed in a leather photo case with a pretty embossed design showing a floral bouquet. The tin type measures 3 1/4" by 2 3/4". It is in fair condition showing some emulsion loss on one side, which doesn ...

I don't know the breed of this precious dog, but I'm sure you do. He is seen resting on a flowered coverlet and what I think is so endearing, the owner is resting his hand on the dogs back. As you may be aware, it was difficult to get one's pet to pose the required minute or so it took to shoot the tin type photo, so I guess this owner was encouraging him to be still.
