Description: DETAILS: Original one sixth plate tintype photograph of an female prostitute. Circa 1870. Note the female's relaxed pose. At the time such poses were considered to be highly provocative. Most likely taken at a brothel for a patron who wanted a memento of his visit. Because of the prohibitive costs of photography at the time, only very wealthy patrons could afford such a luxurious souvenir. Measures 2 1/4" x 3 1/2" inches.For other similar historical photographs visit our ebay store.
