Comments about this photo:
This is an interesting photo. It appears to be a small tintype (photo on metal)that was taped to the back or inserted in a sleeve-pocket with a small oval window or mat acting as a frame. Often the thin cardboard the tintype is attached to has gold trim.
These were popular in the 1860s is correct.
