Unusual tintype of a child holding the reigns of a galloping toy horse; usually the horses in photo studios were actual rocking horses. I love the sweetness of this child wearing an all white outfit except the two tinted pink bows upon her shoulders. A full case with geometric embossment with an archival repaired hinge protects this tin. An exceptional tintype with a folk art horse. $185
