Young Woman in New Hampshire or Maine

This is scanned from a tintype 3/8th of an inch tall. The photo is from the album of Gram Fifield (Hester Ellingwood Fifield,1820-1895, Dummer, Coos County,New Hampshire). Hester and her husband, Edward, were foster parents to my G-G-Grandmother Alvina Frost Andrews and her brother Sumner Frost after their parents died in Albany, Maine.

 

I suspect this tintype is pre-or post-Civil War due to the absence of Civil War tax stamps on its back.
