Tintype photograph
2 5/8 in x 3 1/2 in / 6.7 x 8.9 cm
Provenance: Private collection, Cody, WY
This 1860s tintype shows two Western plainsmen posed with hats, firearms, and frontier dress. The image belongs to the mid-nineteenth-century photographic record of the American West, when tintypes offered a durable and relatively accessible portrait format. The Cody, Wyoming provenance supports its placement within Western collecting history.
The figures are arranged in a studio setting, with one standing and one seated beside props and equipment. Their clothing, weapons, and direct poses create a strong period image without needing added attribution. As a tintype, the piece fits within American West photography, frontier portraiture, and Civil War-era photographic material.
