(CONFEDERATE SOLDIER TINTYPE)
An outstanding quarter-plate tintype, 3" x 4" in an ornate gutta percha hinged case, depicting a Confederate soldier from the waist, up wearing a winter overcoat with cape and a kepi. The jacket beneath, along with wooden buttons, cut and quality of the coat, clearly indicate that the wearer is a Confederate. Additionally, this image was obtained in Florida and the coat buttons are consistent with those issued by the State of Florida. The soldier bears the "thousand yard stare", and shows his lower split lip. A very clean and fine image, fresh to the market.
