A rare and striking pose of an African-American soldier of the United States Colored Troops, the unidentified sitter wearing a kepi and blue-tinted greatcoat and looking confidently into the camera. Housed in a patriotic Union case with blue velvet lining. From a Philadelphia estate, from which it is believed it descended from the subject of the photograph.
Condition:
Plate with crazing, but free of significant scratches or oxidation. Case very good.
