Sixth plate tintype portrait of a Civil War soldier wearing a gray military coat, standing and posed in a studio setting. The subject wears a kepi-style cap and a cape or short overcoat draped over the shoulders, with visible military buttons and insignia consistent with Union service. The image presents a direct, unsmiling pose typical of mid-war studio portraiture.
The tintype is housed in an embossed leather case featuring an eagle-and-shield patriotic motif on the reverse. The case retains its spine and clasp hardware but does not retain a lid, as noted. The image is seated behind a decorative brass mat and preserver appropriate to the period.
Condition is typical for a Civil War–era tintype, with light surface wear and handling marks consistent with age. The absence of a lid is noted for accuracy. A strong, honest example of Southern military portraiture, offered as a single, standalone Civil War photographic artifact.
