Antique Tintype of Handsome Painter (?) in Overalls with Etched Order On Reverse decorative Then there is the layering

Then there is the layering of fences here

In addition to the white chairs

There is a hole in the canvas at center top and general wear all over

I'd think he dates to the 1940s or so

and wonderfully arching back too

Antique Tintype of Handsome Painter (?) in Overalls with Etched Order On Reverse decorative Then there is the layeringI've been trying to figure out what the text scratched into the back of this tintype might indicate but don't have an answer. It looks like an occupational photo of sorts to me, with this handsome man in bowler and paint spattered overalls suggesting perhaps a painter to me or maybe the "bust" described on the back of the tintype refers to a sculpture, and our man works in plaster. Certainly it seems like a job that is being described "Order #240"
