Mary Todd Lincoln Tintype, Sunbeam Gallery 1865
Description
Lincoln RelatedRare Tintype Image of Mary Todd Lincoln
March 7, 1865, Mary Todd Lincoln Tintype, Produced by Sunbeam Gallery, Rochester, NY, Choice Very Fine.
This is an original, 2" x 1.4" Tintype of Mrs. Lincoln, wearing her distinctive floral headpiece, holding flowers, and wearing a flowing dress. This sharp image is housed in a white, embossed paper holder, 4" x 1.4", with an oval opening. The "patented" date printed at the bottom of the holder is March 7, 1865 (significant because Abraham Lincoln was still alive), and was probably a companion piece to a similar tintype holder with the President's image. Backstamp reads: "Made with Wing's Patent Multiplying Camera, Only at Geo. W. Godfrey & Co.'s." Very nice image with slight surface scratches and a few, very light stains to the holder. Overall, a desirable, essential addition to any Lincoln collection.
