Description
Remarkable Horizontal 1/4 Plate Tintype View of Eight Federal Soldiers Preparing a Meal in the Field. Mixed uniforms but primarily four button sack coats and bummers' cap, most also with tarred haversacks. Soldier kneeling at the left displaying huge Bowie knife to the camera. Soldiers hold various utensils, tin plates, tin cups etc. Soldier in the center pouring from a large coffee pot while the soldier at the right is frying hardtack over the fire pit. Large cooking pot on the fire with various other mess equipment scattered about. Tents clearly visible in the background, along with stacked muskets and cartridge boxes. Excellent quality, about perfect condition. Housed in a mint thermoplastic wall frame. Doubtless one of the best Civil War Union 'hard' images we've ever seen.Auction Info
