On this segment of The Henry Ford's Innovation Nation, Mo Rocca meets with Curator of Domestic Life Jeanie Miller, to learn more about the history of tin type photography.

Tintypes, the popular "instant photographs" of the 19th century, could be produced in a matter of minutes at a price most people could afford. Tintypes democratized photography. Beginning in the mid-1850s, they gave more people than ever before the chance to have a real likeness of themselves--capturing unique glimpses of how everyday Americans looked and lived.
