Lot Description
[CIVIL WAR]. Sixth plate tintype of a young soldier, possibly from New York, with a large star and "E" insignia on his cap.
Seated portrait of a young man, possibly an urban New York City private, wearing a fascinating assortment of articles, including a militia infantryman's jacket with light blue-tinted cuff slashes and a non-regulation fur cap with gold-highlighted star and letter "E," likely designating his company. (Some light surface scratches without image loss, very minor spotting; unsealed.) Housed in a fully separated pressed paper case (split at spine, general wear).
Early Photography Collection of Jules Martino, Silverton, Oregon
