Description
Cased 1/6th Plate Ruby Ambrotype of Two Virginia Confederates. These early war Southern volunteers wear matching non-regulation frock coats, high crowned kepis and grey trousers striped down the side. A unit designation peeks from behind the bill of one kepi, however not enough of it is visible to determine its meaning. It is possible that these young men were members of the Richmond Howitzers, an elite artillery battalion that served in the Army of Northern Virginia throughout the war. This image is in excellent condition in every respect. Its gutta-percha case is molded on both sides with a scene showing a medieval lady on horseback being followed by a child with a dog. Two corners on the back panel are chipped.Provenance: The Tharpe Collection of American Military History
Exhibited: The Liberty Heritage Society Museum
