A compelling quarter plate tintype capturing a quaint town scene, featuring a salesman with his horse-drawn wagon filled with brooms. The setting is rich with period detail, including a prominent church spire that towers over the surrounding buildings, suggesting a small but bustling town. The image provides a glimpse into the everyday life and commerce of the 19th century, with the salesman likely traveling to sell his wares in the town square.

The tintype is housed in a decorative brass mat, featuring an intricate floral pattern that adds to its vintage charm. The overall condition of the tintype shows typical signs of age, including some surface wear and small scratches, but the central image remains clear and evocative.
