Description
Civil War image collectors will immediately recognize the scarcity of this photograph, which depicts a very candid scene of what appear to be four Union officers reviewing some kind of paperwork in an indoor setting. They may actually be depicting payday, as the standing solider seems to be holding currency! Whatever they were up to, they enjoyed cigars while they did it. Scenes like this are seldom found. Image is a sixth plate ambitype and is housed in a full leatherette case.
The plate itself has various wipes and marks, but the content remains visible.
