1/4 Plate Tintype of Triple Armed Federal Soldier with Sharps Carbine and Colt

An exceptional full-standing 1/4 plate tintype portrait of a Union cavalryman, posed stoically with a Sharps carbine and a Colt Army revolver secured at his side. The soldier’s kepi prominently displays the crossed sabers insignia, denoting his cavalry affiliation. Set against a patriotic backdrop, the image captures both the resolve and symbolism of a soldier in wartime. Housed in a well-preserved, hard-case book-style housing with functioning latching hinges, this tintype exemplifies the artistry and historical depth of Civil War-era photography.
