Description: 4” tall by 2 1/2" wide BEAUTIFUL tintype photo featuring a "Hidden Mother" image from the 1860s Civil War Era and a photographer in Albia, Iowa- Beautiful little photo features the image of a mother holding her baby for the photographer in such a way that her image could be cropped out and covered by the oval paper mat and unseen-She can be seen at right holding up her little baby-I've delineated the accentuated form of the mother in one of the photos, but the text is of course not on the photo itself-Has the photographer's name / studio of "Cozier & Moore Photographers Northwest Corner Public Square Albia, Iowa" on back- The metal photo itself is 1 3/4" by 2 1/2" and still attached to the original paper outer frame / mat- These photos have become very collectible, the idea was that the mother had to hold the baby still for the length of time for the photographer to snap the picture using those old fashioned box cameras, which was usually 8-10 seconds- The photo is in good condition and the image is crystal clear!

Terms of Sale I try and place a penny in every photo to help judge the size of the item, obviously it is there for size comparison and is not included with the item. The standard sized Lincoln head penny in the photograph is there for size comparison ONLY and is not included in the package. We're just trying to help you figure out how big the item is. We try and always be as accurate as we can in the item description and will gladly answer any question about item size & description when needed.

Many of the items are VINTAGE and although they are in very fine condition, they may not function as well as when they were made decades ago. So if you intend on using the old item, please be aware that we are selling it for collector value only. In other words, if you intend on using a 50+ year old letter opener and it breaks, don't get mad at us. It may be hard to believe, but we have received a couple negatives because people broke vintage items while trying to use them.
