Well focused and great contrast on this 1/4 tintype featuring an unknown soldier seated at a table draped by and American flag.
He wears a military vest and what appears to be a civilian coat. The backdrop is unusual with what might be a volcano and maybe an
aqueduct with a palm tree. The focus is strongest on his face and torso. There has been a rectangular mat at one point on this image,
but it has long been removed to show more of the flag and the backdrop. The image has a slight crease from upper right to middle left,
but can only be witness in light at certain angles. The case is pristine. It is a geometric case (Berg #3-19). The hinges are tight
and the clasps are in tact. The case alone is valued over $150. #5614=$550.00
