Welcome To the Historical Shop
 Celebrating Over 30 Years in Business


5053 - LOUISIANA INFANTRYMAN ARMED, 1/4th plate tintype in a full leather case. A nice Louisiana armed infantryman standing in a 3/4 pose grasping his musket with fixed bayonet in his left hand. He is in full regulation uniform with cross belt and cap box on his waist belt with a glimpse of the cartridge box on  his right side. The photographic artist, as most did, tinted the buttons and plates gold which usually hide for posterity the buttons and plates. The waist plate being an oval in design. However he did not completely tint the Pelican on the kepi and the Company letter "A". The wings and the base of the Pelican emblem can be clearly seen. The coat, while nicely tailored, shows the appearance of a light weight fabric that is typical of Western front Confederate uniforms. A similar Pelican emblem can be seen in Portraits of Conflict-Louisiana pg. 75 on the kepi of an officer in the 10th Louisiana. Image aside from the gold tinting the image is exceptional with great facial focus, just out of a 25 year old collection and new on the market........................................$5,500.00
