Wearing his 4 button sack coat, kepi and rigging with US and Eagle plates that have been gilded. His cap box is clearly visible. This image is very well
focused and has great contrast. His sack coat is in need of an ironing. You can see that he has a book on an inside pocket (his right side hip) that shows
through his coat. Of particular interest is his right eye. I'm not sure if it is an issue of lighting or if he has an artificial eye or something. this
1/9 plate tintype comes in a full thermoplastic case that is Berg's 3-383a geometric case. This is a rarer case and it is in great condition. The pillow shows
some wear, however. There is no identification. #5295=$400.00
