Smiling Little African American Girl IDENTIFIED 1/6 Plate Case 1800s asian Or some other type ofGreat original tintype, behind mat and cover glass in 1 6 plate 1850s 1860s case. On the back of the photo she is identified, appears to say, "Marie Crozier Age 10 years". There is a silk ribbon affixed to the velvet pad I wonder if there was something hidden behind it at some point Very good antique condition overall, a couple of small light bends are visible when viewed at angles, but not apparent when viewing normally. 8214
