What is another word for Tintype?

Pronunciation: [tˈɪnta͡ɪp] (IPA)

Tintype photography, also known as ferrotype or melainotype, was popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This process involves coating a thin metal plate with a photographic emulsion, exposing it, and developing it. The resulting photograph has a distinct, vintage look. Other synonyms for tintype include ambrotype, which is a similar process done on glass plates, and daguerreotype, which is an early photographic process using silver-coated copper plates. In modern times, there are many apps and filters available that can replicate the tintype look, but nothing quite compares to the authenticity and charm of an actual tintype photograph.
