Incredible 1930’s TINTYPE Joseph Stalin With Son Yakov Dzhugashvili Dog Russian

Description: This photo could be the collectors dream or in a museum! Coming from a Russian estate in Sacramento California “A lot of Russians live in Sacramento” We sent pictures of the photo to multiple auction houses and they all said the same thing. “It looks to be genuine, but without having it authenticated they will not accept it into their auctions” We’ve tried to find a place to have it authenticated, but can not find a company that will take on the task. Tintype photographs were used all the way into the 1940’s and especially in the Soviet Union. We believe this photograph is Joseph Stalin on the left (Typical hand in the coat) Joseph Stalin, the leader of the Soviet Union from the mid-1920s until his death in 1953, was often depicted in photographs and paintings with his right hand inside his coat. This was a common pose for him, and it was seen as a sign of his power and confidence. Some historians believe that this pose was a reference to the traditional Russian gesture of a leader holding his sword inside his coat, symbolizing readiness for action and power. His other hand is resting on the shoulder of the other individual, showing that it is a family member Yakov Dzhugashvili his “son” (we added known photos of Yakov Dzhugashvili and the resemblance is near perfect. Also we believe he is wearing a Soviet Union / Russian hat. Rarely would photographers allow animals / pet dogs into photos because if they moved the photograph would be ruined/blurry. Exceptions would be made for people of power. If anyone could help us authenticating this photograph please email us, or make an offer and take on the task yourself. Please no lowball offers.
