1/6 ambrotype, soldier with painted gold shoulder boards, buckle and buttons, tinted pink cheeks and lips. On the table next to him is his shako with tinted red plume. I can't quit e make out the words on the front or the insignia... might be a musicians insignia OR a 75? Hard to say.. I've provided a closeup, (mirrored scan). Comes in full case with separated, matching covers. Clear glass ambrotype with painted back glass, behind mat and original glass. Very good antique condition as shown; my scan came out slightly blue tinted, actual color is a shade greener. Pic #1 was taken using my cell phone with flash. A nice Civil War image. Boxed & insured PRIORITY MAIL. Show more
