Civil War-period albumen CDV by Bonta & Curtiss, Syracuse, NY, showing a sailor missing both hands, wearing ribbons on his shirt and a box emblazoned Fort Fisher. He is posed next to a small cart flying an American flag, with a child posed on the other side. The First Battle of Fort Fisher took place Dec. 23-27, 1864, and the Second Battle two weeks later, both with over 50 Union Navy ships and gunboats taking part. A similar view of these two in another studio clearly shows a sign on the cart trumpeting the victory at the Second Battle of Fort Fisher. Condition: Even toning, light soiling, and edge wear.
