A tintype is a unique and captivating piece of photographic art, offering a glimpse into a bygone era with a timeless, vintage aesthetic. The process, which dates back to the Civil War era, involves coating a thin metal plate with a light-sensitive photographic emulsion, exposing it in a camera, and then developing it right away. Tintypes boast rich, warm tones and exquisite detail that modern photography simply can't replicate. Owning a tintype means owning a piece of history.
