one with their hands tied

there are examples that exist but they are very rare

Rare Political Marcher Tintype with Flag, Torch or Ballot Box? 1860s Photo boxing one with their hands tiedOriginal tintype of a political marcher wearing a tinted red kepi and cape. Next to him is an object not sure what it is, but these marchers were usually photographed with parade torches. This could be a modified torch, a flag, or possibly some type of ballot box? Whatever the case it's not something commonly seen in these images. The tintype is about 3. 5" x 2. 5" and in very good or better antique condition with a few minor scuffs. Boxed shipping.
