Forgotten Marriage:
The Painted Tintype and the Decorated Frame September 8 - November 1, 1998 |
|||||||||||||||||||

|||||||||||||||||||
| This exhibition, which includes over one hundred photographs, was the first of its kind to recognize not only the importance of the painted tintype within American art, but the importance of the photograph and frame as a single work of art. All of the works in the exhibition were from the collection of Dr. Stanley Burns, a physician and prominent collector of historical photographs. Dr. Burns and his wife, Sara Cleary Burns, have spent the last twenty-five years performing exhaustive and meticulous research on all manner of vernacular photography from tintypes to "button" pictures and photographic postcards. | |||||||||||||||||||
