Wenzl & Anna Maria (Kostner) Prokosch

January 22, 2012 by Admin Leave a Comment

There has been yet another photo discovery at the Prokosch Archive located North of Bird Island, MN. (AKA -The Big Dig). The photo is yet another unmarked and undated picture of a mystery couple. The photo in question is on a metallic tin plate (6.5 x 8.5, full plate), I believe it is called a Tintypes.

* Tintypes (1855 through the turn of the century, earlier in Europe) are made using the same photographic emulsion as the ambrotypes & daguerreotypes but, rather than coated onto glass, the emulsion has been coated onto black-painted tin and then exposed. Since they are not on silver they do not have the reflection and, since they were not fragile, are not usually found in cases. Early tintypes are sometimes found in cases as that was still the convention at the time but most often they’re loose or have been placed in photo albums along with later paper photographs.

My theory is this is likely Wenzl (1800-1871) & Maria Anna (Kostner) Prokosch (1813-1871) – are Franz’ parents…
