Vintage ferrotype of a man standing by cabinet. He is wearing a badge of some sort and has a leather bag slung over his shoulder. Ferrotypes were made using a thin sheet of iron coated with black enamel and can be identified using a magnet. Because they are not produced from a negative, the images are reversed (as in a mirror). They are a very dark grey-black and the image quality is often poor. Ferrotypes were sometimes put into cheap papier-mâché cases or cardboard mounts, but today they are frequently found loose. Most ferrotypes are fairly small, about 2×3 inches. Because they are made on thin sheets of iron, ferrotypes often show evidence of rust spots or blisters on the surface where the enamel has started to lift off. 2.5" x 3.75", includes gold coloed frame. Good condition, tiny bit of rust on botton right. HWAC# 61534 Date: c. 1850's Location:
