Antique Victorian Gem Tintype Photo Young Girl Holding Doll Embossed Union Case

An authentic antique 1860s Victorian gem-sized ferrotype / tintype photograph housed in its original miniature thermoplastic/composition union case. The studio portrait captures a seated young girl with styled bangs wearing a lace-trimmed pinafore dress, tenderly cradling an antique china head or bonnet doll in her arm. Beautifully framed beneath original glass within an ornate scalloped and embossed copper-gilt pinchbeck preserver mat, paired with the opposite silk-velvet floral lining pad. The miniature case features finely molded geometric scrollwork across both exterior covers with a working brass hook clasp and intact spine hinge. In remarkably fine, collector-grade condition with clear photographic tonality, strong subject contrast, and sharp case details.

Case measures 2 inches tall. Case has intact glass over tintype.
