Lot Description
[CIVIL WAR]. [LONG, Enoch (1823-1898), photographer]. Quarter plate tintype of a Federal Cavalryman. [St. Louis, MO]: ca summer 1861.
Quarter plate tintype with hand coloring. (Overall very fine condition, slightly soft clarity, few scattered spots to plate.) Housed under mat, glass, and preserver; no case.
A classic pose of an early war Western cavalryman holding a brace of Model 1860 Colt Army revolvers (the pistol on right is unclear), standing before the distinctive Benton Barracks painted canvas backdrop of iconic St. Louis photographer Enoch Long.
