Half Plate Tintype of Patriotic Child in Zouave Jacket with American Flag

This half-plate tintype depicts a young child dressed in a traditional Zouave jacket, proudly posed with an American flag. Although the image shows some minor condition issues and bends, it remains visually striking and would be a wonderful addition to any patriotic or Civil War-era photography collection. The tintype is currently housed in a modern frame but can be easily rehoused by a collector who prefers an archival or period-appropriate presentation.
