- Lot Description
A powerful quarter plate ambrotype captures a young Confederate soldier during the American Civil War, fully armed and ready for battle. The soldier, dressed in a Confederate uniform, holds a rifle prominently in front of him, showcasing his readiness for combat. The detail of his uniform, along with the Bowie knife visibly tucked in his belt, highlights the soldier's preparedness and the seriousness of his duties.
The soldier's determined expression and strong posture add to the solemnity and intensity of the image, making it a poignant representation of the Confederate experience during the Civil War. The ambrotype is housed in an ornately designed gold-tone mat, which adds a layer of formality and preservation to this historically significant piece.
The ambrotype is in excellent condition, with sharp details and clear imagery. The gold-tone mat shows minimal signs of wear and adds a decorative element that complements the gravity of the photograph. The contrast and clarity of the soldier's features, uniform, and weaponry are exceptionally well-preserved, making this a valuable piece for collectors of Civil War memorabilia. - Provenance
