Amazing Tintype Woman with Pet Tabby Cat Antique Photo 1800s Original Rare beard The note also says takenOriginal tintype, woman posing outdoors with her tabby cat, who is wonderfully posed on box, and who appears to be dozing. Great, unusual composition. Tintype is about 3. 5" x 2. 5" and in very good or better antique condition with no bends, being on a double thick iron sheet, like the earliest Neff tintypes, though I believe this dates to the 1880s. 7340A
