A tintype, also known as a melanotype or ferrotype, was introduced in the mid-19th century. Essentially it’s a photograph made by creating a direct positive on a thin sheet of metal, colloquially called ‘tin’, coated with a dark lacquer or enamel and used as the support for the photographic emulsion. The tintype, was essentially a variation on the ambrotype, which was a unique image made on glass.
