style=\"text-decoration:none\" height=\"27px\" valign=\"middle\" face=\"arial\" and original half-plate ambrotype of a young Confederate in front of an uncommon backdrop.
A great Civil War find!
The backdrop, his buttons, and his cheeks are all hand tinted/colored. The design of the buttons are notvisible, though one of them (third from the top) looks like the person who colored it went through sometrouble to make some sort of design, and not just solid color - looks like the bottom half of the button ismade up of tiny dots. I have not researched Confederate buttons to try to find a match....This was from a Florida estate. There are several lines of original pencil writing inside of the back ofthe case.I think atone time it was an ID, but I can no longer read it, it\'s very light and appears mostlyrubbed off.The winner might be able toenhance it in Photoshop or read it somehow, but I wouldn\'t beton it.
Ambrotype is in excellent antique condition, as shown. The photo is on clear glass with some black painton the back. It\'s in half of its original leather case, measuring 6\" x 4.75\".Payment
