Description
This fine ninth plate ambrotype of a Confederate officer of the day was published in Dom Serrano’s book “Still More Confederate Faces.” It can be found on page 201 and the back of the dust jacket. The officer is seated with a studio drapery behind him. His buttons have been gilded, and his officer of the day sash has a slight red tint. With the mat removed a table with book is visible below the drapery. The officer’s arms are folded across his lap. The image is in very nice condition except for some minor scratches and is housed in a decent thermoplastic case. Officer of the day images are quite rare, especially Confederate. I have had one other, a union first sergeant.
