1/6th Plate Ambrotype of Seated Federal Soldier with Colt Revolver

1/6th Plate Ambrotype of a Union Soldier with Colt Revolver
 
This striking 1/6th plate ambrotype presents a clear, waist-up seated portrait of a Federal infantryman, shown in full regulation uniform with his Colt revolver prominently displayed. The soldier stares directly at the viewer with a serious expression typical of early war images, his revolver held firmly across his chest, barrel visible and cylinder detailed. The image retains strong contrast and excellent clarity for an ambrotype of this size.
 
Housed in its original half leatherette case with intact velvet pad, this piece is a classic and highly collectible example of Civil War soldier photography.
