Description
Massachusetts Civil War Soldier 1/6th Plate Cased Ambrotype. This Union soldier, although unidentified as an individual, is certainly a son of Massachusetts. Since the photographer didn't slap gilt paint on the uniform buttons in this image, a three-piece Massachusetts staff button is visible under magnification. It is of the arm and sword variety. Also, pinned to the velvet lining on the case lid is a copper veterans' badge, the hanger of which reads 3RD MASS. INFANTRY ASSOCIATION. A small canteen is suspended beneath this and has the popular post-war slogan WE DRANK FROM THE SAME CANTEEN on both sides. The 3rd Massachsetts Volunteers were a 12-month regiment and served exclusively in Eastern North Carolina. The portrait here shows considerable haloing, however the subject remains unaffected. The case is typically worn with a somewhat loose spine.Auction Info
