This very attractive, Card Mount Photo measures approx. 8 1/8" by 10" and is mounted on its original card mount (mount is trimmed to the edges of the Photograph). It is a vignette, bust portrait of of a rather dashing, Civil War Soldier wearing a single breasted, 9 button frock coat with Union Army buttons. His facial hair is quite distinctive and we feel as if we should recognize the soldier but unfortunately neither the soldier nor the photographer are identified in any way. The subjects facial hair and eyes have been light enhanced by the photographer as can be seen in the scans below.

    This very rare, original 1860’s, large format, Civil War, Card Mount Albumen Photo is in excellent condition. The Photograph itself exhibits sharp focus, strong contrast and rich tonality. It is generally clean and crisp with the delicate and minimalist enhancing adding to its beauty. The Card Mount was trimmed and its corners rounded sometime close to the date it was created to fit the Image into a typical, Victorian Walnut Frame (the frame is not present ).

    A rare and very attractive, 1860’s large format, Card Mount, Albumen Photograph of an unidentified Union Civil War Soldier and a fantastic addition to any collection!!
