Description
Round Edward Everett tintype features a red molded celluloid frame with raised scrollwork. A centered portrait depicts Everett wearing a dark jacket, bow tie, and white shirt. "Edward Everett" is printed above his head. The reverse reveals a circular trench that would have held a similar tintype, possibly John Bell's. A small piece of red silk ribbon is threaded through a hole at the top of the frame. Part of The Lincoln Financial Foundation Collection, courtesy of the Indiana State Museum
