CONFEDERATE Civil War BOY soldier Uniform Gold Photo Ambrotype Daguerreotype

Description

CONFEDERATE Boy Civil War soldier in elaborate uniform. The flamboyant hat, has a large feather and gold on the cap badge and accoutrements. The buttons, rank and high standing collar are also Gold accented. This young soldier is holding something of value (Letter from Mom? Bible verse??) close to his chest with his left hand, while covering his heart with his right hand... Great piece of of our country’s history. I’m not sure if this is an AMBRO or DAG, however it is a very nice piece.
