Tintype of Young Girl on a Hammock
This is an interesting studio portrait. Notice the large black post on the floor, extending up and behind the young lady. The post supports a photographer's head clamp. Head-clamps were used to prevent the sitter from moving during a long exposure. It must have worked, because you see her face clearly in the tintype. But on the other hand, this bold post ruins the mood of the hammock.
