Artifact Overview

Tintypes, the popular "instant photographs" of the 19th century, could be produced in a matter of minutes at a price most people could afford. At first, outdoor tintypes were rare. But after a new, more convenient process for making tintypes was introduced in the 1880s, photographs of outdoor scenes became more common.
