Here is an interesting find.
This is a tintype. A tintypes is actually a negative because it is the image as it comes directoy from the camera. Tintypes, originally known as or ferrotypes or melainotypes, were invented in the 1850s and continued to be produced into the 20th century. The photographic emulsion was applied directly to a thin sheet of iron coated with a dark lacquer or enamel, which produced a unique positive image.
All of which is to say that when this one is reversed ("corrected" if you prefer) it turns out to be the same backdrops and props as the cabinet cards on the right.
