Rare Antique Breastfeeding Nursing Mother Tintype Photo Alabama, Georgia 1860s medica There is a paperRare sixth plate tintype of a woman nursing her baby. This was out of a Georgia estate that included other photos from Georgia and Alabama, so I think it was likely this was taken in that area as well, sometime during the Civil War years. She is not identified. Tintype is behind mat and cover glass. In half of a case, in very good antique condition with minor age related spotting and small mat abrasions.
