19th C. Folk Art Painted Full Plate Tintype of Stern Looking Couple with Bible (in Large Hand!) man with afro I find this Fraktur typeI've been eyeing antique painted tintypes like this one lately which I think have a wonderfully surreal sort of strangeness to them so was very happy to find this one at an estate near me this week.
