Description
Very nice sixth plate tintype of a Federal NCO photographed in front of the Beaufort, South Carolina backdrop. Near full standing pose dressed in his sack coat and holding his musket at his side. A US waist belt is worn with his cap box, bayonet and a side knife bearing a wood and sterling silver handle. Sporting a 5-button state issue Wisconsin sack coat, this may in fact be a member of the 19th Wisconsin Infantry, who were issued the 5-button state blouses and would have been in the vicinity of Beaufort. A beautifully tinted American flag is draped over the table, as we often see with this Beaufort back drop. Housed in a full leatherette case.
