Title
Photograph, 2016, Sandusky, Lynchburg, Va.
Description
Modern tintype photograph of Sandusky taken in 2016 as part of a series of photographs taken by collodion artist and photographer Robert "Bob" Szabo.
The tintype, also known as a melainotype or ferrotype, is a photograph made by creating a direct positive on a thin sheet of metal coated with a dark lacquer or enamel and used as the support for the photographic emulsion. Tintypes enjoyed their widest use during the 1860s and 1870s, but lesser use of the medium persisted into the early 20th century and it has been revived as a novelty and fine art form in the 21st.
