ArtifactGreenfield Village Tintype Studio
Tintypes were a popular type of mid-1800s "wet-plate" photography. This studio was built in 1929 in Greenfield Village and a tintypist and Ford Motor Company employee, Charles Tremear, was hired to create tintypes for Greenfield Village visitors. In this studio, in addition to Village visitors, Tremear made portraits of many celebrities, including Thomas Edison, Joe Louis and Walt Disney.
