Full-case Ambrotype, Armed Civil War soldier

Full-case Ambrotype of Armed Civil War soldier. Click photo and "Detailed Description". (SOLD)

This is a sixth-plate ambrotype in a full case of an armed Union soldier. He is wearing a kepi and four-button sack coat while holding his musket. He is wearing a leather belt with the cap box and the brass “US” belt plate. He is also wearing his cartridge box with the belt and breast plate. Inside the case, behind the image, is some writing but is hard to make out; however there appears to be a first name of “Jerome”.

 

There are some age speckles on the image, but overall the young soldier with his equipment displays nicely. These armed images are quite rare, but this one is still being offered with a great price. (SOLD)
