1/4 Plate Tintype of Federal Cavalry Soldier Posed on Horse

1/4 Plate Tintype of a Federal Cavalry Soldier Mounted on Horseback with Beautiful Hand-Tinting 
 
This striking quarter-plate tintype presents a rare and dynamic full-view of a Union cavalry trooper posed seated on his horse. The soldier is shown in full Federal cavalry uniform.
 
The image features attractive period hand-tinting, with delicate coloring applied to the soldier’s uniform, the horse, and elements of the backdrop, enhancing its visual appeal and giving it a lifelike quality.
 
Although the tintype shows some signs of age and is not in perfect condition, the overall image remains strong, clear, and highly displayable. The unique mounted pose is particularly desirable, as cased images of cavalrymen on horseback are considerably scarcer than standard studio portraits.
 
Housed in a leatherette case, this quarter-plate tintype is a standout example of Civil War cavalry photography and would make an excellent addition to any collection focused on mounted soldiers, Federal cavalry, or high-quality images.
