#8 - This is an unusually large 8" x 10" tintype/ferotype of heavier metal than others. It is tinted and has a background that looks as though the photo of the girl has been applied like a decal onto a rough, possibly etched, background. By photographing the original, the features and colors came out clearly from the very darkened tintype.

Recently I was given an old photo that had been in my Grandmother's care since her Aunt died in the 1940's.  It is of a couple and was taken in Hale, Missouri.  I do not know who these people were.  My cousins and I have been trying to identify and research many of the pictures that my Grandmother had.  Our parents are of no help in that they do not recognize most of these people either.  I am wondering if there is someone who might recognize the couple.  The photo was in the possession of Susannah and George Hammond in Portland, Oregon.  Susannah and George both came from Illinois in the 1880's.  Susannah was related to Atkinson's, Hunter's and Hazlewood's. Thanks.
