Abraham Lincoln-Framed Period Photograph
Item #: 006651
This item is also listed in the Political Category. This is a period photograph of Abraham Lincoln which is of an engraving and has been retouched. It is period as it passes both the acidity test and the smell test. Some staining on the paper that the photo is glued on. The frame is a period frame but I married it to the photo. A couple of small bad spots on the frame which could easily be retouched.

Union Naval Officer-Half Plate Daguerreotype
Item #: NEW-0016194

Click image to enlarge
This is a half plate dag of an unknown Naval officer.  It has a complete leather case which is split. The designs are different so I probably married one side, I can't remember.  Both clasps are present.  This image was found in Nashville Tennessee and I have been unable to identify the subject.  He is wearing an early naval uniform which was used until 1862 so I don't know if it is Mexican War or early Civil War.  What I can see of the belt buckle is from that same era.  The image is exceptionally clean.  There may be a couple of light scratches on the right sleeve.

"Lawton's Wagon"-Noah Gifford Photographer
Item #: NEW-0014157

Click image to enlarge
This mounted albumen photo including board measures 8 by 10 inches.  There is a faint photographer's mark on the lower left hand corner which reads Noah Gifford, who was a civil war era photographer in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Pencil writing on the back reads, "Rear View-Lawton's wagon showing blood smeared on tail board and the ? of the wheels."  I was told that this was from Camp Lawton in Georgia, which was a Confederate POW camp.  I have been unable to verify this and think it is probably not true.  Although Gifford was a photographer during the civil war, I have not seen any examples of his work in the South.  According to the person I bought it from, it was found in a lot of photographs from the 1912 Gettysburg reunion.  I think it is possible that it might be related to Confederate General Alexander Lawton who was carried from the battle at Antietam after a very serious wound.  This item needs more research.

Occupied Nashville Albumen-George Barnard
Item #: NEW-0012988

Click image to enlarge
The price on this item has been reduced.  Paypal will not be accepted on this item though payment plans can be arranged. 

This is an original mounted albumen which measures 13 by 10 inches. I have shown two scans of the front since it was a little too big for the scanner. Although the photographer is unknown,  George N Barnard was the official photographer assigned to Sherman and he photographed many Nashville buildings and later Chattanooga when Sherman moved his head quarters there.  This photograph can be seen in James Hoobler's book, "Cities Under the Gun."   The building is identified in that book and in the period handwriting at the bottom of the board as being General Hospital No 15, Division Nashville Tennessee May 9 1865. Hoobler identified the building as Hynes School which was built in 1857 on the corner of Line and Summer Streets.  The hospital was used for the treatment of men who had venereal disease.The photo shows at least sixty-seven men and one boy.  A Rucker ambulance, can be seen in the foreground and a milk wagon above and to the left hand side.  There is a grouping of men, among them some paroled Confederate Soldiers and one with his rifle.  There is a structure which looks like gallows but more likely is a well.  A person could have fun studying this photograph for things I've missed.

Tintype-Union Officer-Sword-Sheath
Item #: NEW-0011611

Click image to enlarge
Exceptional clarity on this sixth plate tintype image of a war weary officer holding an M1850 foot officers sword in it's leather scabbard.  Although the cheeks are tinted the photographer, fortunately did not add gilt on the belt plate which clearly shows an eagle.  Very slight bends in the tintype hardly worth mentioning.  The top of the tintype appears to have been trimmed. The composite case is complete but very worn.

Identified Armed Union Pa Soldier
Item #: NEW-009188

Click image to enlarge
Neat copy photograph of Alexander Black Ewing. His story however, is more interesting than the photograph which is encased in one of those cardboard studio holders. The photograph itself measures around five and a half by three and a half inches. There is an old newspaper clipping that tells his story in an obituary. Alexander Ewing was born in Middletown Pa and came to Carlisle at the age of eighteen where he learned the trade of cabinet maker and undertaker. His progeny are still in the funeral home business in Carlise. Ewing was in Carlisle when Confederate forces took the town over. All the U.S. forces stationed at the garrison fled to Harrisburg, leaving Ewing, who was the post undertaker in sole command. I was unable to figure out the exact unit he was in as there were several Alexander Ewings. Ewing went on to become the oldest Mason and next oldest Odd Fellow in Carlise. He was President of the Union Fire Company and President of the Funeral Directors association of the Southern District of Pennsylvania. The title of Colonel was conferred on him by unanimous consent of the community.

This tintype only has a half case and has some condition problems such as puncture marks which are visible in the scan. The soldier is holding a Plant gun. This image was found in a estate in Chattanooga Tennessee. Perhaps this soldier elected to live in the countryside that he had fought in.

Tintypes-Double Armed Union Soldier-Wife
Item #: NEW-007655

Click image to enlarge
Great look to this Union soldier and presumably his wife. They are encased in a scarce Scroll/Geometric case which is Carte De Visite Size, 3 7/8 X 2 11/16th size. Both are tintypes and both have been cut down to fit this odd sized thermoplastic case. The brass rims have also been cut down to fit the cases.  Clarity of the images are quite sharp, the soldier is clearer than the scan. There are two emulsion areas on the soldiers tintype which are visible in the scans. He is armed with a rifle and a hand gun. Something is extended from his hand. Buttons, breast plate and belt buckle have been gilded. Looks like a double number on his kepi but can not read them. The case has very minor wear. Clasps are present but it doesn't click shut. I think it would if the images are removed.

Tintype-Armed Union Soldier
Item #: NEW-007485

Click image to enlarge
This sixth plate tintype is presented in a scarce and desirable patriotic case which appears to have the original leather snap at the spine. This handsome, unknown union soldier is ready for battle. I believe this tintype has been coated with some type of protective film which gives it a bubbly appearance. This seems to be a case of why did they do that since I see no problems with the tintype. Looking at this straight on in a non-reflected manner the image is much sharper.

Can't quite read that. There is crazing to the black paint on the back which you don't notice till you hold it up to a light. I had black paper backing in the case and I would recommend that.

GAR Veterans Photograph
Item #: CIV-003488

Click image to enlarge
Wonderful photograph which measures 18 by 14 inches. It is mounted on a board which appears to have been trimmed. Some wear along the edges and photo has separated from the board just a little at the lower right hand corner. There is a puncture mark in the upper left hand field near the trees which is not that noticeable  since it blends in with the background. One or two scratches, also not that noticeable. The vets appear to have been posed at one of their comrade's grave. Their uniforms are adorned with medals. A very touching scene and with unusual content. This photo survived all these years as it was found in the frame behind another item. It is bowed and does not lie flat.
