| You can see now why, when I thought that tintype was his, I was so took aback. |
| In the 1850s the daguerreotype gave way to a cheap hybrid, the tintype, and to a new form of negative-to-positive photography known as wet-plate or wet-collodion. |
| No, I ain't never had my pictur' took since I was a young girl and had it on a tintype. |
| Oh, yes, but it wasn't on the tintype that the other fellow should have been there at all. |
| While the tintype served the mass-portraiture market, wet-plate lent itself to landscapes, cityscapes, and mass-reproduced celebrity portraits. |
| But there wasn't anything in that recarnification and revulsion to tintype for me. |
