Lot of 2 sixth plate ruby ambrotypes of the same soldier from the same sitting, taken early in the Civil War. The young soldier wears a forage hat and a military jacket with epaulets over a striped shirt. Epaulets, hat insignia, buttons, and ring tinted gold, and red-tinted cheeks. Acquired by the consignor from two separate sources and married together in a fine Beehive and Farm Tools Union case (Krainik-123). A fantastic pair of ambrotypes. Condition: A few minor scratches in the emulsion, but VG+ overall.
