Frowning Girl with Spaniel, Antique Tintype, Framed as Found red ball Love and Truth) painted acrossThe first photo here shows this tintype framed exactly as I found it with the left corner of the tintype stuck in front of, rather than behind, the paper mat of the frame. I really like the effect, lending a different sort of dynamism to the photo, and with the shape formed evocative of a raindrop or teardrop, perhaps. (Of course one can do what one wishes with it; it will slide in fine behind the mat to be framed with an oval.) Great image I think,
