Sixth plate hand-tinted tintype of a drummer seated in a studio, holding a large painted drum and drumsticks on his knee. (Image rather dark, with some finer details difficult to discern; unsealed.) He wears a jacket with three red sleeve chevrons and an unknown device above possibly indicating a drum major or sergeant of some kind. Housed in a Union case with geometric/scroll design (some chipping).

Accompanied by a sixth plate tintype portrait of a young woman, presumably the wife of the drummer as the images were found together (consignor note). (Some surface imperfections and chemical discoloration to edges; unsealed.) Housed in a half pressed paper case (significant surface wear).
