A young girl and a younger boy











A particularly lovely tintype of what is probably an older sister and younger brother. The boy sits with crossed legs and wears a ribbon tie and fantastic striped stockings; the girl rests her hand on his arm. They look alike – so serious, as children often do in tintypes.

Date unknown.
