seen in the photos. The image itself is not too bad but
does have areas of spotting in the lower left and upper
right edges. There is a bit of waviness in the mount due
to the water.

CDV - INDIAN CHIEF HOLDING A RIFLE - Image of lightly tinted Indian
Chief with head dress and holding the barrel of a rifle. There is no
photographer's backmark but image looks to be a period second generation
photo due to the clarity as can be seen in photos. Looks good until you put
a loop on it then you notice the fuzziness. There is an abrasion in the
albumen paper near the hand holding the gun. At one time the back had
been glued to some kind of board and there was a lot of material left on the
reverse but I have removed that.

RUBY AMBROTYPE OF INFANTRY SOLDIER NEXT TO HIS
HARDEE HAT - 1/6 Plate ruby ambrotype with great clarity
showing the soldier sitting next to a table that holds the Hardee
hat with Infantry insignia. To me this guy looks a bit familiar
and of course when it comes from Michigan and you see that
Hardee hat, the 24th Michigan Infantry of the Iron Brigade
automatically comes to mind. As far as I have been able to
check, I have been unable to confirm even a slight chance of
that. The image has a few small scratches and the leatherette
case has been repaired on the hinge though it is still shakey.
Overall a beautiful image.

CDV - FREDERICK HILL MESERVE COPIES OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN
- TAKEN FROM THE ORIGINAL PLATES - Image of Abraham Lincoln
made by Frederick Hill Meserve in the early 1900's off the original plates.
These were the famous Cooper Institute photographs by Mathew Brady on
February 27,1860 that were credited with showing Lincoln in a light that
helped win the election. This has Meserve's stamp and notations in his
hand on the reverse. Unfortunately due to the paper used at that time, it
lacks the clarity that the period CDV's had but they were taken from the
original plates.

AMBROTYPE - ID AS CHARLES STONE 47TH & 59TH MASS INF
- 1/9 plate size ambrotype of a Union soldier seated wearing a frock
coat with slight tinting to his cheeks. Under the image written in a
more modern pencil is " Prv Charles Stone / Co. E 47 Mass". He is
listed as serving in the 47th Mass. Inf. from September, 1862 to
September, 1863 and in the 59th Mass. fromJanuary, 1864 to May,
1865 then in the VRC until August, 1865. He is also listed as wounded
in action at Petersburg on 6/17/1864. I had no reason to doubt the ID
but always would like to see that nice period ink instead of later
pencil. Has a full case that has the spine repaired with black tape (and
a very nice job), The light line from shoulder to shoulder is actually a
reflection and is not in the image.
