Moody Sixteenth Plate Tintype of Moody Young Boy andersen studio tree vase Plenty of scuffs and stainsFound in the same great old school antique shop as the slate I just listed, perhaps that slate belonged to this boy at some point who looks to me like a deep thinker! I just love his face, and his moody intensity, looking as though he feels the weight of the world. And with a nice moodiness softness shadowiness to the tintype itself, almost as if he were a just an apparition. 2 x 1 1 2 and in good condition.
