Wow...IS THIS REAL? Haha...I'm a senior photography major and was just looking through tintypes at an antique store, saying to myself how the backdrops really were an "overlooked" form of art. Then I randomly see if I can find anything about it and this site shows up...I'm glad there's a book about. Props!
