Description
Union Corporal Cased 1/6th Plate Ambrotype With 12th Corps Badge. A bully Yankee corporal lifts a glass of brandy in either celebration or anticipation of great deeds on the field of battle. He wears a four-button sack coat emblazoned with two chevrons and on his breast is pinned a star signifying membership in the 12th Army Corps. An informative kepi rests on a side table. On its crown is "109 PV", which identifies this soldier to the 109th Pennsylvania Volunteers, which served in both the Army and the Potomac and the Army of the Cumberland. The regiment collectively saw the elephant in every major engagement from Cedar Mountain to Bentonville. The image is lightly tined with blue on the uniform, gold on the buttons and even orange for the brandy. A remarkable portrait altogether. Haloing, else very good condition.Auction Info
