Tintype of Woman with Protruding Eyes - Hyperthyroidism?
We attended a post card show today. This is our first time at this show. We came home with five postcards, a stereo card, and a tintype. There were several photographs that we wanted to buy but didn't. Even addicted collectors have to draw the line somewhere.
The dealer thought that this might be a post mortem but we think she is alive but suffering from a condition like hyperthyroidism or another disease that causes the eyes to bulge.
Jack thinks it might have been made as a medical record but I think it is more likely that it was a family photograph. I am adding a detail of her eyes below.
