Three Stoic Swimmers with Painted Backdrop, Antique Tintype soldered tin Carved head (beard to hat)I just really like these three can't quite tell if their heads are sticking through the backdrop to join with printed bodies or not! With plenty of scratches and aging to the tintype, which in this case I think makes it better and all the more atmospheric. 3 3 4 x 2 1 2. Clipped corners and all over wear and scratching as evident, no major bends.
