Scans from the mystery albums! I wish I could fit more than ten images, but my favorites will have to do.
These albums were found in a case in our belongings after our move. They are not the previous homeowner's. We have no idea where they came from, or who these people are, but I'm happy to share them as I try to find their owner-- and maybe posting this will help!
What I can tell about them is they are from the mid-1800s, mostly tintypes but also paper photos. The tintypes seem to follow the life of the dark-haired woman (obsessed with her lip quirk and attitude btw), who resided in Central Massachusetts (some of the tintypes are labeled as from a few photographers in the area). The second album, mostly regular photos, is from Connersville Indiana, photographed entirely by J. H. Tatman.
I presume they are two sides of the same family, as the albums were organized similarly. Do you recognize these people? Please DM me if you do!
For everyone else, please enjoy the fashion references.
