Wild and Crazy Guy Meets His Long Lost Parents. A tintype photo from ca 1875

in #photography7 years ago

A friend just recently found this old tintype photograph in an antique shop. This is an original tintype photograph circa 1875-1880.

The resemblance of the figure on the right to me, froghollow, is uncanny. I was able to track them down as they do kind of stand out. And sure enough they admitted to abandoning a son who looked alot like me years ago. And after a brief meeting, they requested that our family situation remain as it has been. So it was a very quick hello and goodbye. I didn't learn much about them. I even forgot to ask their names. However Their shoes indicate that they may be of the Dutch persuasion. For more background see my previous Wild and Crazy Guy post at @froghollow.
