Man in Apron with Children

Wonderful image of a large man with two little girls, most likely his daughters. His apron indicates that he is in his occupational clothes. Perhaps a butcher or grocer? Bon-ton tintype. I recently purchased a used copy of "Collector's Guide To Early Photographs" by O. Henry Mace. After receiving it in the mail I immediately noticed that this tintype is among a pile of images on the cover! I acquired this tintype in 2005 and that book was published in 1999. I'm pretty sure it is the same exact image. The corners are identical and the marks and blemishes match up.
