A poignant sixth plate ambrotype depicting a solemn Confederate Civil War soldier. The subject is dressed in a buttoned military frock coat and an oil-covered kepi, characteristic of Confederate uniforms of the era. His striking beard and serious expression convey a sense of resolve and duty during a tumultuous period in history.
The ambrotype has been resealed for preservation, and a modern note reading "11th Tenn" is inscribed on the back of the sealing tape, indicating the soldier's regiment. The image is housed in an ornate gilt frame, enhancing its historical and aesthetic value.
A significant artifact for Civil War collectors, offering a window into the personal experiences of Confederate soldiers during the conflict.
