TWO PHOTOS HOUSED IN 1/6th PLATE WOODEN CASE, ONE IS OF FOUR TINTED GOLD MINERS CIRCA 1860s. First image is a great 1/6th plate tintype of hard rock miners posing for the photographer in tinted blue shirts and funky hats. In the background you can see a gold rush town with numerous buildings (tinted brown),and pine trees (tinted green). In the foreground of the image there are four men on top of mountain overlooking this unknown gold rush town. Gold miner up front is hanging on to wooden hoist (tinted brown) rope and probably standing on bucket waiting to be lowered into mine shaft. He is also holding what appears to be primer cord for blasting hard rock wrapped around lunch bucket. He is ready to be lowered into the gold mine by his partner who is holding hoist handle. Man to the left of image has a miners pick on his shoulder and the gold miner on far right is also holding pick on shoulder and a large gold pan under right arm. Second photograph is an ambro type of what appears to be a young gold miner with tinted green high collar wool or flannel shirt and beard, staring intently at an unknown photographer. This very early tintype and ambro are housed in leather covered wooden case with tin frames. SIZE: Both photographs approximately 2-3/4” x3-1/4”, case 3-1/4” x 3-3/4”. CONDITION: Tintype has small scratches and fly specs with good not great contrast. Ambro is very good, light discoloration at bottom and some foxing.
