TWO CASED CIVIL WAR SOLDIER PHOTOGRAPHS.

TWO CASED CIVIL WAR SOLDIER PHOTOGRAPHS. Two fantastic orig Civil War images, thought to be tintypes, contained in a decorative hinged gutta percha case measuring approx 3-1/4″ by 3-3/4″, one on either side within gilt metal frames. The image on the left depicts a Union cavalryman wearing a Hardee hat with crossed sabers and the letter “E”. He cradles his Model 1840 saber in his arm and has what appears to be a Colt revolver thrust in his belt. Wedged between his saber and his body is a side knife. He wears the regulation cav. uniform jacket and reinforced mounted trousers. The soldier on the right, also a seated cavalryman, wears a low crowned Kepi with crossed sabers and the letter “A” on the front. He wears the regulation cav. uniform or shell jacket with the collar turned down and regulation mounted trousers. He has reversed his saber belt probably at the photographer’s request so that the saber will appear to be on his left side, his hand rests on the hilt of his Model 1860 saber. CONDITION: Left hand image exhibits some cracking in the emulsion, particularly to the lower part of the photograph, though all details are still visible. Other image is in near excellent condition and appears unblemished. Right side of the case is cracked entirely through from top to bottom near the hinges. 4-32553 DM149 (400-1,000)
