[CIVIL WAR]. Sixth plate tintype of armed soldier possibly representing North Carolina or Rhode Island.

Sixth plate half portrait of a determined-looking young soldier with musket and knapsack. (Darkening to portrait edge, light spotting throughout, exceptional clarity otherwise; unsealed.) Housed in a pressed paper case (heavy surface wear and some separation to spine). Provenance: Sixth plate Herb Peck Collection (consignor provided bill of sale).

The young enlistee holds his bayonetted musket to one side and wears what could either be a blue flannel full shirt worn by the 1st Regiment, Rhode Island detached militia, or a variant of the six-button modified fold-over collar jacket, with possible wooden buttons, worn by North Carolina enlistees.
