Description
Rare 1/4th Plate Tintype With Zouave Group Portrait. Eight members of a Federal Zouave company are posed here in fanciful North African splendor characterized by wide jacket facings, braided embroidery and cuff piping. Their uniforms are characteristic of those first worn by Indiana Zouaves, yet this style came to be favored by troops from other states as well who were stationed along the Gulf coast. Among the sitters is the group's captain with his shoulder insignia being clearly visible. The photographer has lightly colored the soldiers' britches with a blue tint and has added gold to the buttons per the day's custom. This portrait is well-composed with a horizontal orientation that presents the group effectively in a small space. The surfaces of the photograph are excellent. The front of the case has separated, yet can easily be repaired.Auction Info
