Today I'm posting one of my unknowns - a stray ferrotype image (tintype) of three women, possibly related; no names, no place given. The image is on its own; there's no paper folder or envelope for it.
The image is clear although dark. It shows three women; the two in front are younger, I think, so the woman standing could be a mother or aunt. They are very well dressed - so many ruffles! And so much work went into their dresses.
I believe they may be at an event, as the backdrop looks temporary. I thought originally that the chair the two are sitting on was on grass but perhaps it's a rug. If you have any ideas, please do comment! Thanks!
Same image. A little lightened.
