A CDV-sized tintype presents an image of a Black African American Buffalo Soldier, standing tall and dignified in his uniform. The soldier's composed posture and steady gaze reflect the pride and resilience characteristic of these brave men who served in the post-Civil War era. He holds his cap in one hand, resting the other on a patterned drape, with an ornate studio backdrop behind him.
The tintype, though showing signs of age and some surface oxidation, retains the clarity of the soldier's figure, allowing the viewer to connect with the powerful historical narrative it represents. The wear and tear on the plate adds to its authenticity and provides a tangible connection to the past, making it a significant artifact for collectors of military history, African American history, or 19th-century photography.
