#13155 - Big quarter plate tin of demure young Union Private
This is a larger original tintype of a solemn, young Union trooper seated in his frock coat. There is a painted studio backdrop behind him. His trousers were painted blue by the photographer. Pink cheeks of innocence colored-in as well! The emulsion has some scratches and dings in the background areas. It seems like 2 coins were pressed in against one corner of the tin plate, leaving disc-like impressions. No soldier ID yet known. Comes with original glass, fancy quarter-plate brass mats, and a half of a leatherette quarter-plate case.
