Description

Beautiful sixth plate clear glass ambrotype of a Union corporal armed with a small percussion boot pistol and Sheffield style knife in his belt.  He is wearing a frock coat with nicely tinted corporal stripes on the sleeves, blue for infantry.  His Hardee hat is decked out with an infantry horn insignia and a small black plume or feather.  Buttons and other details are gilded.  The photographer outlined the US belt plate in gilt and gilded in a US to make the plate read properly.  In addition, the soldier’s cheeks have been tinted.  The image is very crisp and clear, representing a nicely posed early war Union soldier.  It is housed in a very nice thermoplastic case.
