1/2 Plate Tintype of a Confederate Soldier
<B>1/2 Plate Tintype of a Confederate Soldier with Clay Pipe and Long Scarf.</B></I> A remarkably clear image of a soldier wearing an extremely long winter scarf, slouch style hat, and with a clay pipe in his mouth. The more the image is studied, the more small details reveal themselves. For example, the viewer can easily make out the base of the stand used to steady the subject during the long exposure period. While there are no details to reveal the regiment or state served by the soldier, the consignor indicates that the soldier may be from Virginia. This attractive image is housed in the bottom portion of a case complete with gilt brass mat.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Miscellaneous Collectibles, Smal (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
