Unusual and visually arresting sixth plate (CDV-sized) tintype showing a young man posed formally behind an ornate balustrade, gripping two vividly hand-tinted feather dusters—one pink and one blue. The image features exceptional clarity and tonal depth, with the subject sharply focused in his dark three-piece suit, complete with watch fob and necktie.

The painted props and his deadpan expression may point to a comic or novelty studio pose, though it could also represent a rare occupational image of a duster or broom salesman—an exceedingly uncommon subject in tintype photography. Vivid hand-coloring brings a surreal vibrancy to the plumes, while a third duster, likely part of the set, appears leaning against the railing in the foreground.
