Description
Extremely nice sixth plate ambrotype grouping of three brothers, two of which are wearing Richmond Type II depot jackets. The family resemblance between the three is clear. The two soldiers appear to be in new uniforms, and the image may have been taken shortly after their enlistments. The buttons are gilded and the cheeks tinted. The image came from the estate of George and Ellen Lewis Malone of Dundas, Lunenburg County, VA many years ago. Many family members had the name Davis. A fine and uncommon image of brothers going to war. Housed in a leatherette case with repaired spine.
