This Tintype was found with a CDV of the Moore store in Taylorsville, Tennessee and other CDVs and tintypes. They were together in an envelope marked Tennessee. We were told they were all from the same area. Some CDVs have a Taylorsville photographer's backmark. This is a very charming tintype portrait. A little boy is dressed like an adult in a shirt with a bow tie and a hat. He's not wearing the usual boy's clothing of the era and looks rather like a grown up! Notice the bowler hat. He is identified on the back in scripted pencil as Dick Donnelly. His proper name would have been Richard. We believe this to be from the Taylorsville (now Mountain City) area of Tennessee. There is a Richard Donnelly who is prominent in Taylorville and mentioned in the 1868 Johnson County Claims Comission. This could be his son. The tintype is in a paper sleeve with an oval opening. We estimate this to be from the late 1860s or early 70s.
