Description
Very nice sixth plate tintype of a seated Confederate Officer. Although unidentified, the image came out of North Carolina. The officer is seated with one arm casually resting on the back of the chair with a large portion of his frock coat visible. The buttons are gilded, but his rank insignia are not. Under magnification the Austrian knot on his sleeve can be seen as well as the bars on his collar. It looks like the three bars of a captain to me, but maybe the two bars of a first lieutenant. The image is very clear with a couple of swipes that do not detract at all from the image. Housed in a complete leatherette case with repaired spine.
