Williams, Anthony De Souza 1997-672-03
/Unidentified Photographer, Portrait Photograph of Anthony “Tony” De Souza Williams & Unidentified Man, c. 1861-1868
THE PHOTOGRAPHER/ PHOTOGRAPHIC STUDIO:
Photographer: unidentified
THE SITTER(s):
Name(s): Anthony “Tony” De Souza Williams and Unidentified Man
Description: The writing on the envelope says "daguerreotype," but the rust on the photos leads me to believe this is a tintype. Williams is standing with his hand on the unidentified, sitting man's shoulder. Both men are wearing three-piece suits with ties. Williams is wearing a hat, while the unidentified man holds his. Tintype's popularity peaked between 1861-1868. Judging by the men's clothes I would date this tintype to that time.
