Description
Union Soldiers With Greenback 1/4th Plate Tintype. A rare and unusual portrait of three extremely young Yankees in sack coats, one of whom is holding what appears to be a greenback dollar. The photographer lightly tinted this image with the era's usual gilt buttons and pink cheeks. The central figure is also holding a limp green-tinted rectangle that is the size of folding money. Another soldier is holding a thin object that looks suspiciously like a large coin. Is it possible that these fellows are posing with an enlistment bounty? A nice clean image. Wear to the highpoints of the case, else fine condition.Auction Info
