Sixth plate, hand-tinted tintype of a Federal cavalryman wearing a regulation double-breasted enlisted overcoat having a cape which buttons down the front. (Slightly soft in clarity, minimal edge wear including slight crease near top edge of plate, else very good.) Housed in a full pressed paper case with penciled notation behind image, which reads, "Josie chere, Mon chere amie" (areas of surface loss). 

A striking portrait elevated by the trooper's intense eyes and fierce countenance.
