- Lot Description
Lot of two excellent cased photographs of Civil War cavalrymen. This lot includes:
1. Sixth-plate tintype. Half leatherette case.
A high-quality portrait of an armed member of a Pennsylvania Cavalry regiment, possibly the famous Rush's Lancers. This attribution is possible because of the incredibly rare appearance of a Pascal-style hat on the photographer's table. Imagined as an efficient combination of a traditional forage cap and a havelock, this oddball headgear featured multiple flaps that could be lowered to protect against sun and rain.
These flaps could be clipped up to the hat's visor in pleasant weather. It was worn by a small handful of Pennsylvania cavalry regiments early in the Civil War, including the 2nd, 6th, and 15th. This trooper, who appears to be a bit older than the typical recruit, strikes a confident pose in this well-executed image. He looks directly into the camera with his hand on his sword. The brass 'A' on the front of his Pascal hat places him in Company A of his regiment.
2. Ninth plate tintype. Patriotic "The Union Now and Forever" brass mat and full thermoplastic case.
A compelling portrait of a Yankee soldier from a state's 4th regiment of cavalry. This classic waist-up shot features a steely-eyed subject who locked eyes with the camera while displaying his saber. Those with an interest in Civil War headgear will appreciate the soldier's porkpie-style hat, on which is pinned the cross-saber symbol for cavalry and a number 4.
