Full plate tintypes are among the largest and most sought-after formats from the Civil War era. The gentleman resembles Alexander Ramsey (1815 - 1903) Minnesota's first terrotprial governor. Mid-19th-century men's fashion featured high-collared shirts, cravats or bow ties, heavy wool frock coats, and double-breasted vests. High-quality tailoring in the image indicates a subject of significant wealth or status. An authentic antique hand-painted antebellum full plate tintype photograph (dating from 1856 to 1861) generally commands a market value between $150 and $450 USD.
