Description
Sixth plate tintype of a Federal infantryman. He’s dressed in what appears to be your standard Federal issue infantry frock, however this example sports a pair of cloth shoulder tabs. Possibly New Hampshire, but that’s just a guess. Wearing this wide brimmed slouch cap while resting a single-shot percussion pistol on his forearm, which we can safely assume was most likely a photographers prop. This does have a little crazing to the emulsion over on the right side in the area where you can see the glare from the scanner. Housed in a half leatherette case.
