Victorian Era Tintype of a Bearded Older Man with Hand Painted Rosy Cheeks, 1860s-1870s Soccer HIstory The Horrors of A StrickenThis tintype photograph features a well dressed older man with a beard and slightly rosy hand painted cheeks. Very few of the tintype photos are found with added hand painting. Someone liked this fellow well enough to try to make him more human. He is looking a little serious, as is common in photos from this time, because the subject had to sit for an extended period of time while the photograph was taken. The photograph was likely taken in the 1860s
