EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a youthful Union soldier during the American Civil War. Taken around 1862, this close-up oval tintype portrait showcases an anonymous young volunteer soldier proudly wearing a kepi adorned with a "CA" company cap-badge. Neatly dressed in a shirt with a cravat, this boyish recruit exudes determination and bravery beyond his years. The original hand-colored gem-plate tintype is housed in an exquisite scrolled leather case with gilded borders, adding to its historical significance. Over time, the original portrait suffered from lateral reversal and various scratches, but thanks to Battlefields in Motion Ltd. , it has been restored into its correct orientation for this modern version. The cleaned-up image now allows us to appreciate the soldier's features more clearly. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by countless young men like him who fought on both sides during one of America's most defining conflicts. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of their courage and resilience amidst the chaos of war. With every detail meticulously preserved through photography, we can't help but be transported back to that tumultuous era when these brave soldiers shaped our nation's destiny. This image stands as a testament to their unwavering spirit and dedication to their cause – forever etching them into the annals of American history.
