Matted in a deep period frame to an overall size of 12" x 14". The image has a hairline scratch descending from the top into the subject but does not detract. Two small stains in field, else very good condition with strong contrasts. Lieutenant Ashley was one of ten officers from the 10th Massachusetts who were killed in action during the regiment's three-year term. He met his end on May 5, 1864 at the Wilderness; The second image is a 1/6th plate studio ambrotype of young Confederate wearing a light gray shell jacket having Federal general service eagle buttons. Cased in a later wooden frame, this image can only be tentatively identified by an inscription on its cardboard backing which reads, "Mr. A. J. Connor Grotto N.C. CB1.98". Light scratches not affecting the overall appeal of the portrait.Auction Info
