This original, period Tintype Photograph measures approx. 3 1/4” by 4 1/4” and is housed in a period pressed brass matt and binding with the original cover glass.
The Tintype features full length portraits of two Civil War Union Cavalry Soldiers standing at in a photographer\'s studio with their hands resting on the pommel of their cavalry swords which are displayed vertically before them. Both wear scabbards at their belt. The Cavalryman on the right wears a Hardee / Slouch Hat with crossed sword, cavalry cap insignia while the soldier to the left wears a thin brimmed hat that was often favored by Soldiers in the Western Theater. Both men wear shell jackets with a single row of brass buttons. Neither the subject nor the photographer are identified in any way.

The surface is stable and sound with no flaking and no significant surface crazing. As stated above the Tintype is housed in a period, pressed brass matt and binding with a period cover glass. It is not cased.

Important Notes about Shipping Charges:
The amount quoted for Shipping & Handling is calculated by and is equal to the EXACT amount charged by the Post Office plus a $1.00 \"packing fee\" - the $1.00 fee is our only compensation for the virgin packing materials we use on all of our professionally packaged boxes as well as our cost for the salaried help that does most of our packing - as I am sure you can see, we make NO profit on the Shipping charges and, in fact, our costs are usually greater than the $1.00 fee. Please contact us if there are any issues regarding the cost of shipping.
