- Lot Description
Lot of 13 photographs of members of the Andrew Goodwin and Mary L. Rich family, including 5 cased images of Andrew Goodwin, comprised of a sixth plate tintype of Goodwin in Civil War uniform, sixth plate ambrotype, ninth plate daguerreotype, and 2 ninth plate ambrotypes, one that is accompanied by a ninth plate ambrotype portrait of Goodwin's wife, Mary L. Rich, believed to be their wedding portraits from 1860. The collection includes 2 additional ninth plate ambrotypes of Goodwin's wife, Mary, each in full case; ninth plate ambrotype in half case and half plate tintype in thermoplastic wall frame showing Goodwin's daughter, Leila; 2 sixth plate daguerreotypes in half cases, one showing an aged man under mat stamped by S.L. Carleton, Portland, ME, the other showing an aged woman under mat stamped by Anson, 589 Broadway; and circular tintype of unidentified woman, approx. 1 in. dia., in half "Oreo" case.
Born in 1837, Goodwin married Mary Lyman Rich of Portland, ME, in 1860. Their daughter Leila (Lilly) was born in 1862. He enlisted in the army on September 29, 1862 and mustered into the 25th Maine Infantry, Co. H. Goodwin served until July 10, 1863 when he mustered out of service at Portland, ME. He enlisted a second time, after working as a moulder, on August 16, 1864. Two days later, he mustered into the 4th Massachusetts Heavy Artillery, Co. K. He and his regiment primarily defended the forts in Washington, DC until they mustered out at the capital on June 17, 1865. A note inside one of his ambrotypes claims he was taken prisoner at some point, but we found no records to support that claim.
Provenance: Property of Another OwnerSixth plate ambrotype of Goodwin in civilian clothing, exceptionally clear. View of Goodwin in uniform with few scratches on plate, image a bit dark, housed in full case separated at hinge. Light to moderate wear to remaining portraits.Condition
