This tintype, created by Jeremiah Gurney in 1862, captures Manton Eastburn, Bishop of Massachusetts. Gurney, a renowned American photographer, produced this small portrait, likely for a personal album. The image showcases Eastburn in formal attire, his stern expression and clerical collar hinting at his distinguished position within the Episcopal Church. This photograph offers a glimpse into the life of a prominent figure in 19th-century American religious history.
