Enveloped by a Cloud - Striking, Much Weathered Full Plate Tintype Portrait antique handprinted fan but it gives me delightThe degradation of this tintype completely makes it for me, such that this already soulful (and wonderfully freckled) looking young woman appears all the more so, like a saint or a spirit floating in between worlds.
