Full Plate Ambrotype of an 1850s Militia Officer

 

Rare full plate ambrotype of a bearded militia officer in a standing pose with full dress uniform.

He holds a militia sword in tinted gilt decorated scabbard with ivory handle & gilt eagle pommel. The central image is crisp, with a wealth of detail, despite a light veneer of corrosion spotting. Measures 5 ¼” by 6 ½”. A highly unusual pre-war militia image.
