Ferrotype
[is a ferrotype, circa 1870, possibly made in Philadelphia, of a man leaning on a hitching post. The ferrotype process allowed for faster exposures than the earlier daguerreotype and ambrotype; hence, more candid shots outside the photographer's studio, like this image, were easier to achieve.
