New Hampshire 1/4th Plate Ruby Ambrotype
<B>New Hampshire 1/4th Plate Ruby Ambrotype.</B></I> This fine studio portrait shows a Union corporal wearing a nine-button frock coat, the left sleeve of which carries corporal's chevrons. He holds his kepi, crown-up to reveal an infantry bugle insignia and unit designation for Co. A, 15th New Hampshire Volunteers. The image is housed in a gutta percha case by Littlefield & Parsons Co. Although quite clear, the photograph exhibits substantial haloing and has a horizontal crack above the subject's knees. Overall very good condition. Images with clear regimental and company insignia are quite scarce. The 15th New Hampshire was a 9-month regiment organized in Concord. Its served its term in Louisiana, with the regiment's most notable campaign being the siege of Port Hudson.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Small Collectibles (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
