1860s CIVIL WAR TINTYPE PHOTO OF REVOLVER ARMED UNION ARMY SOLDIER PHOTOGRAPH #1

Description

Very rare and original, 1860's Quarter Plate Civil War Tintype Photograph of a Union Army Soldier armed with a revolver in a holster at his hip.
This outstanding, period Tintype Photograph measures approx. 3 1/4" by 4 1/4” and is uncased but housed in what appears to be its original stamped brass matt, binding and original cover glass. The Tintype is a wonderful, full length standing portrait of the Union Army Soldier wearing an enlisted man’s frock coat, regulation trousers and a pork pie hat. He stands before a blank backdrop with his left hand resting on an elaborately carved, Victorian Chair. His belt features a two piece belt plate along with a holstered revolver at his left hip. Neither the Soldier nor the Photographer are identified in any way.
This very rare and wonderful, Civil War Tintype Portrait of an armed Union Army Soldier is in very good to excellent condition. The focus is sharp, the contrast strong and the tonality rich and warm. The Tintype is clean and crisp and very well preserved with no scratches or surface nicks and no significant physical damage of any kind. The surface is sound and stable with no flaking but with light and unobtrusive surface crazing.
A very rare and original, 1860's Civil War, Quarter Plate Tintype Photograph of a Union Civil War Soldier armed with a revolver and a fantastic addition to any collection!!

Important Notes about Shipping Charges:
The amount quoted for Shipping & Handling is calculated by eBay and is equal to the EXACT amount charged by the Post Office plus a .00 "packing fee" - the .00 fee is our only compensation for the virgin packing materials we use on all of our professionally packaged boxes as well as our cost for the salaried help that does most of our packing - as I am sure you can see, we make NO profit on the Shipping charges and, in fact, our costs are usually greater than the .00 fee. Please contact us if there are any issues regarding the cost of shipping.
