Marietta Davis, an unknown boy, and the M.E. Church, Yankton, D.T.

These items were found together in the 1980s or 1990s in a second-hand copy of Lang's translation of "The Odyssey".

The first tintype is framed in what looks to be copper, in turn attached to a piece of shiny embossed white paper that folds towards the back into a kind of envelope. The frame is 2 cm x 2.5 cm; the envelope is 6.3 cm x 10 cm.

The second tintype, pasted securely into an embossed paper frame, is in very poor condition and has lost almost all of its image except for a folded pair of hands. This photograph has a probably-contemporary note on the reverse, "Marietta DAVIS, 5 years".

It is not clear if the separate photographer's label from Teague's of Lewiston, Maine belongs with the photograph of Marietta Davis -- the paper is very similar in color and texture but slightly larger across.

Although on separate pieces of paper, the photograph of the front elevation of the M.E. Church, Yankton, Dakota Territory, and the photographer's label from S.J. Morrow, Yankton, Dakota Territory, apparently go together, by the size and color of the paper.
