RARE AND POSSIBLY UNIQUE PANOTYPE PHOTOGRAPH OF IDENTIFIED CONFEDERATE MARINE.

RARE AND POSSIBLY UNIQUE PANOTYPE PHOTOGRAPH OF IDENTIFIED CONFEDERATE MARINE. This six plate image measures 3-1/4″ x 2-3/4″. Panotypes are images taken on emulsion covered leather. This was a very short lived photograph technique. This is the only panotype known to us of a Confederate, much less an identified Confederate enlisted Marine. “J Washburn, CSN” is inscribed in ink on back of this image. There is a J.S. Washburn who was a resident of Moore County, N.C. and served in the Confederate States Marines. In a Fayetteville Observer Newspaper dated November 24, 1864, Washburn (misspelled Mashburn, see CSN personnel index), states that Washburn arrived in Charleston November 6, 1864 on the CSS “Indian Chief” for further drill and instruction as a Marine; later sent aboard the CSS “Chicora”, Charleston station. CONDITION: Image is fair to good. Details of Washburn’s face are very good as he peers into the camera. Washburn is wearing a dark neckerchief and wood buttons can be discerned on his light colored tunic, as can be seen in photos. There is crazing and cracking in emulsion and some small losses, which can be seen in photos. The accompanying sixth plate case has replaced hinge and brass frame and protector have scattered staining and patina. 8-76335 JS41 (1,500-3,000)
