Identified 1/9th Plate Ambro of a Rebel Soldier
<B>Identified 1/9th Plate Ambrotype of a Confederate Soldier.</B></I> An interesting hand-tinted ambrotype of a young Confederate soldier identified as John W. Brown. The image depicts Brown in uniform with arms defiantly crossed and gazing squarely into the camera. Details of his uniform and kepi are clearly visible in this sharp image. Of particular note is Brown's large and jaunty bow tie. Written in pencil on the inside of the case is "<I>John W. Brown/ Soldier/ Civil War/ 10/61</B></I>". Research reveals that there were several Confederate soldiers by the name of John W. Brown, so it would be difficult to determine the exact state or regiment for which he fought, or his ultimate fate. The image is sharp with a few small areas of surface loss at the bottom that don't affect the central image. There is a "halo" around the central image, a shadow effect from a missing mat. The image is housed in a half case with its decorative gilt mat.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Miscellaneous Collectibles, Smal (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
