Description
An account of the resource
Tintype Portrait of a Soldier and his Wife. These two early photographs are held in a cardboard case and are surrounded by a decorative, gold-colored metal frame. On the side of the man's photograph, the bottom reads, "Constitution and Union", signifying that this was a Union soldier.
Also known as a Melainotype, these photographs were images on thin iron sheets. Though thin, they were sturdy and could be used in jewelry or sent in the mail. They were often (as in this case) set within a decorative brass frame. Though they could not be reproduced like other film-based photographs, tintypes were popular because of their affordability.

Description
An account of the resource
Photograph Album. This Civil War-Era photograph album has a leather cover and a brass hinged latch. It holds dozens of early photographs of women and children.
Photograph albums were first popularized during the Civil War, as photographs became more affordable and readily available. Such decorative covers were common, often made of leather or pressed paper. Soldiers used such photographs and albums as comforting mementos of their life at home.
