Tintype photograph in CDV format, mounted within an album page, depicting a little people couple posed in a studio setting. The image likely dates to the late 19th century, with no photographer’s imprint visible. Tintypes of little people subjects are notably scarce compared to paper formats, making this an uncommon example within the medium.

The pair stand beside a painted studio prop resembling a fountain or balustrade, set against a scenic backdrop. The small male figure wears a dark policeman’s uniform with a structured coat, rows of buttons, and a rounded helmet-style hat, and holds a baton or short stick at his side. The female figure wears a light-colored dress with a fitted bodice and a decorated hat. She turns toward him with her hand resting at his arm, creating a composed, interactive studio pose.

Additional details include the album mount with rounded corners, the contrast between the dark uniform and the lighter dress, and the staged architectural prop at right. The figures are carefully positioned against a painted outdoor scene, reinforcing the formal portrait setting. No printed or handwritten text is visible.
