American Historical Ephemera and Photography Featuring the Civil War and American Militaria Collection of Bruce B. Hermann

Full plate daguerreotype portrait of a British junior officer featuring fine gold highlighting. (Image focus soft in many areas, with some loss to image, light tarnishing, and scratching around edges and area of imperfection at/near subject's legs; no mat or preserver; resealed.) Housed in a red leatherette case (surface wear throughout, separation/fraying to fabric lining spine interior, and some discoloration to upper left portion of velvet pad). The young male subject displays the uniform and equipment of a junior officer of a Scottish Highland regiment in the British Army, including ostrich feather bonnet with white plume, white horsehair sporran with two rows of three tassels, diced color pattern kilt, white cross belt with gilded breast plate, and Pattern 1828 Highland broad sword. 

Based on the pattern of his sporran, tartan, and white bonnet plume, the subject might be a 92nd Gordon Highlander, though this cannot be confirmed by his cross-belt breast plate as it is out of focus.
