Item Details
Description
Two sixth plate ambrotypes of Confederate officers attributed to Charles Rees of Richmond, Virginia. Delicately hand-colored, both images are housed in a mint thermoplastic case.

Charles Richard Rees (1830-1914) was a photographer best known today for his portraits of Confederate soldiers. Among collectors, he is widely considered the greatest southern portrait photographer in operation during the Civil War. The two images offered here typify the best of his work- superb clarity, beautiful coloring, and a "pearl-like" quality to their emulsion.

Ex-Bill Turner Collection. Turner needs no introduction to collectors of Civil War photography, as he was a seminal collector and author ("Even More Confederate Faces," 1993) in the field.

Condition as seen. Hairline fractures to both plates, they are stable and fit for display.
