Description
English:

Gem size tintype. Hand-tinted "rouge" on cheeks. PH Coll 500.TN28

Tiny gem plate portraits became available with the revolutionary invention of the multiple-lens camera in 1860, which allowed the photographer to easily make a large number of images on a single plate. Gem portraits were not made in quantity prior to 1863 when miniature size became popular for portraits during the American Civil War for their ease of being carried in the mail.
