Recovered photos
Sifting through some of her mother's belongings, a cousin of my father's recently found an album of tintypes and photographs dating from the 19th century. The quality of preservation varies from image to image; many are not in terribly good shape and most have darkened to the point where they're very difficult to make out, but a little scanmanship has rendered most of them serviceable.
Most will require elaborate retoucing, because the surface of each tintype has become pitted and rough. But several are good enough to show after just a bit of work, and here's one of those. I'll post more over the next few days.

I sent you an email John – curious about whether you can identify any of these people.
