An antique Civil War tintype photo of a young Union soldier with American flag and camp photographer's background. Unsigned - we do not know the identities of subject or the photographer. In total it measures about 3.25"h X 2.75"w including the glass and gold framing - about sixth-plate size (dollar bill shown in image for size comparison only). The tintype is not cased and just has the glass and gold framing. The tintype itself is pretty bent up and looks like it's been removed a lot, but the image is still quite clear.
There is some loss to the image around the edges and particularly on the bottom left (see scratch in photo). We took the liberty of removing it from the glass since it has already been removed and the glass is quite dirty and obstructs the image considerably (please see photos). Please view the images as an extension of the description, as they are part of the description and they are of the actual item you will receive. We do our best to describe our items as accurately as possible and provide multiple photos. We are happy to answer any questions you may have and we always appreciate your business!
