Original, 1860’s CDV Photograph of an armed and outfitted Union Civil War Soldier believed to have been from Vermont. This wonderful CDV Photo measures approx. 2 1/2\" by 4\" (including the original card mount). The CDV features a full length portrait of an unidentified soldier wearing the uniform of a Union Army Private. The soldier stands in a photographer’s studio grasping the barrel of his rifle the butt of which rests on the floor. His kepi is on a pillar beside him and there is a bayonet in a scabbard at his belt. In front of the pillar beside him there is a haversack with bed roll. There is lettering on the haversack but all that we can make out is the word \"Vol.\". The soldier\'s pants and his bed roll feature original blue hand coloring while the drape at the right hand edge of the image is colored red.
The Soldier is VERY young, certainly in his teens, yet he has the look of one who has \"seen the elephant\" many times. Unfortunately, this Image is not identified in any way - the soldier is not named and there is no photographer\'s markings. The only clue is the lettering on his haversack however we have been unable to decipher it. This CDV along with the other 2 Civil War Soldier Photographs which we are offering in this week\'s sale, came to us from a Vermont source and we believe that the soldier might be from Vermont but we are not sure.
This rare, CDV Portrait of an armed and outfitted Union Civil War Soldier is in good condition only. The image is somewhat toned and soiled with some staining along the top edge and a small spot of scuffing in the area of the red drape. The card mount is worn as seen in the scans below.
A very rare, original 1860’s CDV Photograph of an armed and outfitted Union Civil War Soldier believed to have been from Vermont and a fantastic addition to any collection!!

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.
