Description

Tintype of Union Soldier Holding Rifle With Bayonet

Quarter plate tintype of a Union soldier in uniform, standing full length and holding a rifle with bayonet, 3.25” x 4.25”, no place, circa 1861-65. A touch of pink coloring to the face and gilt coloring to buttons on the sash and jacket. Housed in a decorative embossed metal border with corners folded back to secure the tintype. Expected surface wear includes crackling, abrasions, and creases. Overall, near very good condition.

The tintype was invented in the 1850s and was most popular during the Civil War due to its low cost and durability. During the photographic process, an emulsion was applied directly to a thin sheet of iron (not tin!) coated with a dark lacquer or enamel, which produced a unique positive image.

This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
