Description
This crystal clear quarter plate ruby ambrotype depicts an early war Georgia private standing with kepi in hand. He is holding what looks like a Mississippi rifle with sabre bayonet. His belt, with gilded buckle, supports a cap box and revolver, which looks like a Colt navy. This image was in Bill Turner’s collection at one time and still retains his collection number on the case. The case is a very nice leatherette with repaired spine. In the case is a Bill Turner description of the image. Images of this quality are quite desirable, and the collector history is the best. The image was published on page 53 of Bill Turner’s book, “Even More Confederate Faces.”
