INTERESTING POSED SIXTH PLATE TINTYPE OF UNION
INFANTRYMAN KILLING CONFEDERATE WITH A BOWIE KNIFE. This is a most interesting image with a story that is lost to history. Enlisted Union soldier in 9 button frock is holding a supposed Confederate by the scruff of his neck with one hand and holding a clip point Bowie with the other posed about to thrust it in his neck. His victim is wearing a light colored striped jacket with white shirt and has a half stock sporting rifle cradled beneath him. Full case. CONDITION: image very good overall, craquelure to image surface but solid. PROVENANCE: Martin Lane Historic & Western Americana Lifetime Collection. (02-21913/JS). $800-1,200.
