Scarce Antique Military Civil War Carte de Visite Photo of 7th New York Civil War Soldier in Uniform. DESCRIPTION: Nice, original antique CIVIL WAR Carte de Visite patriotic album photo of a Civil War soldier. Shown WEARING THE 7th NEW YORK INFANTRY UNIFORM & KEPI. NY photographer patriotic backmark by A. Turner, Photographer, 765 Broadway, New York.
Carte de Visite photos were popular during the Civil War, and were the most popular photograph format during the war years. Great way to see and collect pictures of friends and relatives.
This is an especially great, PATRIOTIC addition to an album/collection. A very collectable regiment and great photo in uniform. This would look great in any original Civil War period CdV album.
Very clear, in excellent condition. Some old pencil writing on reverse, although not totally legible.Could be an endorsement from the soldier.
