Description
This uncommon CDV size image depicts a standing Union cavalry soldier with his sabre fully displayed in the scabbard. He is wearing a cavalry shell jacket with nicely gilded trim and buttons. His belt has a gilded sabre belt plate and cap box. The image has a three-dimensional look to it, which might have been achieved by photographing the soldier on a tintype plate with the background already on it, but I am not certain of this. This is an interesting and attractively posed image housed in a half leatherette case.
