Tintype of a Distinguished African American Gentleman

Bid Increments

No bidding increment

Exceptional sixth plate tintype portrait of a well-dressed African American man, in formal attire with a dark jacket, white shirt, bow tie, and a calm, confident expression. His neatly groomed hair and mustache, along with his poised posture and direct gaze, convey strength, dignity, and self-assurance. He rests his right hand on his hip while his left arm leans gracefully on a prop, suggesting an intentional, composed studio pose.

This portrait stands out for its quality and its rare representation of African American identity in a post-Civil War context — a powerful reminder of resilience and self-possession during a turbulent chapter in American history.
