A remarkable 19th-century CDV size tintype capturing the construction of a photographer's wagon with a skylight. The wagon is being painted, and side windows are yet to be installed. At the back door and skylight area, the photographer and his presumed wife are visible, while the entire family is featured in the scene, adding a personal touch to this historical moment. This rare and intimate glimpse into the preparation of a mobile photography studio highlights the resourcefulness of early photographers.
