ca. 1880-89, [“hidden-mother” tintype portrait with three children]
Tintype showing one child held by a “hidden father” or “hidden mother” exemplifies a genre of photography in which an adult is obscured with a blanket or fabric while holding a baby or child from behind or to the side. A frame or matte was then used to crop the image so that only the intended sitters would be in view.
