Two Workmen in Aprons - Occupational Tintype
The two young men in this tintype wear cloth aprons and appear to work at a more gentile trade than the two men in leather aprons that I posted today. I like the scallops in the background that suggest it was tacked up. Perhaps it was a makeshift studio space in their workplace.
I notice that there is a dark streak down the striped apron on the left and a suggestion of a streak on the right. Printers? Butchers? Machines operators? It is interesting that they are still wearing ties and vests.
