[CIVIL WAR]. Sixth plate ruby ambrotype of a musician with painted drum.

Item Details

Description

[CIVIL WAR]. Sixth plate ruby ambrotype of a musician with painted drum.

Sixth plate seated portrait of an unidentified musician. (Surface mottling/wear to emulsion and darkening around edges, with oxidation to preserver; unsealed.) Housed in a figural Union case, The Calmady Children [Berg 1-104] (some nicking and chipping to edges and corners, loosening to hinges, and a few light spots of discoloration). Subject wears an infantry shell jacket with cloth epaulettes and gold-highlighted buttons. On one leg he holds a remarkable painted drum complete with eagle and shield motif.

Modern inscription behind image likely erroneously identifies the subject as "Nathan Taylor of Pennsylvania." An HDS search returned 3 so-named Pennsylvania enlistees, none of whom are recorded as musicians or drummers.

The Civil War and American Militaria Collection of Bruce B. Hermann
