Tintypes, first known as ferrotypes or melainotypes, were cheap variations of the ambrotype. 

First described by Adolphe-Alexandre Martin in France in 1853, the tintype was patented by Hamilton Smith in the United States in 1856. Instead of being placed on glass, the collodion emulsion was coated on thin iron sheets that were enameled black. 

Easy to make and inexpensive to purchase, tintypes were popular among soldiers in the Civil War and remained in use through the 19th century
