<B>Cased 1/6th Plate Ambrotype of an Early War Volunteer and His Wife.</B></I> The confident fellow in this poignant image has the merest hint of a smile and is likely a Confederate cavalryman going off to war. His militia-style shell jacket has what appear to be nine eagle buttons. A vest and trousers of a lighter fabric than the jacket's complete the uniform. Light gold paint colors the buttons, a strip of piping on the collar, and a stripe down the soldier's pant leg. The supportive young bride in this image has a brooch at her throat bearing her husband's likeness. Housed in a gutta-percha Union case embossed with Cupid and a stag on both sides. The emulsion on this ambrotype is smooth and intact where such really counts; however, there are several small scrapes in a perfect oval suggesting that the plate was originally under a smaller mat.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Miscellaneous Collectibles, Smal (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
