Civil War cased photographic image Union Artillery soldier sword Hardee hat
He wears the Union Hardee hat with crossed cannon insignia. He has the red piping on his sleeve and collar which I believe, designates an Artillery Corps.
The soldier holds his sword across his chest. His hat is also adorned with a red carnation. I think that this image is an Ambrotype.
It doesn't have the holographic effect that is supposed to be present in a daguerreotype. The image is housed in a wooden composition case, covered with embossed leather.
It has a locking hook on one side, but no hinges on the other side.... Not even sure if there were any. The opened case measures 3 1/2" by 3". There is some wear to the leather covering along the edges of the case. Near the locking hook, there is a narrow strip of leather missing..
The image, glass, satin lining, and brass trim appear in excellent/undamaged condition. I will be able to make special arrangements if you need an item quickly for a special gift.
