Harley Cummins as a young boy. 2 1/4" x 3" tintype portrait of Harley Cummins as a little boy wearing a checkered dress in a studio setting.
These photographs are from a second old album containing tintypes and carte-de-visites of members of the Allyn and Cummins families of Janesville and Madison Lake, Minnesota. The album itself is brown leather with gold-leaf embossing on the cover, the word "album" on the spine; 5 1/4" x 6 1/2" x 2 1/2" with a brass metal hasp. It is identical in size, but has a different cover decoration than the first album. The leather is separating from the spine.
