Lot 47

Fun CDV tintype of three serious drinkers, each with their own bottle. They are sure to be trouble as the cigar-smoking man in the back wearing a strange little hat seems ready to bust his empty bottle over some one’s head! The two men in the front are smoking pipes. The man on the right is dressed more formally than the others. The makeshift backdrop is quite comical and we assume this was an itinerant photographer. The image has nice tones and contrast with some wear. At an angle we see a few wavy lines that extremely light bends that aren’t really noticed.
