Frowning Girl with Spaniel, Antique Tintype, Framed as Found red ball A portrait of disappointment if

A portrait of disappointment if ever I saw one

and a few small moth nibbles as evident--all of which seem appropriate to me for the armband of a guide who surely had do some sort of bushwhacking

which happens to have the largest collection of tinsel paintings anywhere

but it is clean and new and dust free

completely endearing her to me even as it somewhat undermines her seductive pose

Frowning Girl with Spaniel, Antique Tintype, Framed as Found red ball A portrait of disappointment ifThe first photo here shows this tintype framed exactly as I found it with the left corner of the tintype stuck in front of, rather than behind, the paper mat of the frame. I really like the effect, lending a different sort of dynamism to the photo, and with the shape formed evocative of a raindrop or teardrop, perhaps. (Of course one can do what one wishes with it; it will slide in fine behind the mat to be framed with an oval.) Great image I think,
