American Historical Ephemera and Photography

Charming group portrait featuring a middle-aged soldier with craggy complexion and chin beard, posed with a younger man and a pre-teen or teenage boy, likely his sons. (Few small abrasions with minor image loss, few other minor imperfections, else good; unsealed.) Housed in a half pressed paper case.

The private wears a regulation nine button frock coat made formal for the occasion with an oversize silk cravat together with a pork-pie hat which features a feather or bit of fur that is only just visible above the upturned brim. The latter is suggestive of perhaps a Pennsylvania Bucktail, though this attribution cannot be confirmed.
