A striking quarter plate tintype of a Civil War soldier, posed with his sword in hand and a rifle resting against the wall. The soldier, wearing a military uniform adorned with gold-tinted epaulettes and buttons, stands proudly in front of a painted backdrop depicting a camp scene with a cannon, tents, and ammunition. His steady gaze and formal stance reflect the discipline and gravity of his role during the war.
The tintype is housed in its original case, complete with an ornate brass mat that frames the portrait beautifully. The subtle hand-tinting enhances the uniform’s details, adding depth and richness to the image.
