Figure 1.--This Ameican tin-type was a rare one taken outdoors. The clothes ckerly date the image to the 1910s. We are not entirely sure how a tintype was taken outside a studio unless the photograoher was mobil.

Mounts were one ofthe ways, tin0types wee presented toncustimers. Simple pper sleeves were more cimmon, but we s=do see sime mounts. We note what we a first thought was a tin-type photograph of unidentifid siblings in a sleeve, but seems more like a mount. Aat first glance we thought it was a 1860s-70s sleeve, but is clearly a 1910s portrait. And seems like mount. It can be dated by the children's clothes and the fact that the framing lines are not simple bands, but fancy designs.
