Although this 1/4 plate tintype has seen better days, the content is fantastic. This soldier wears a 9 button frock coat with a fancy tall hat. His
rig includes a cross belt with associated gilted eagle plate, cap box, cartridge box and a waist belt with gilted US belt plate (US not visible). On his
right side he has a bayonet scabbard that is empty implying that the bayonet on his rifle and the rifle may not be a props. The backdrop, I believe is a
Benton Barracks backdrop featuring a tent with a map on the table inside. Also a canon, cannon balls, an iron clad river boat and a colorized American flag.
