CIVIL WAR CARTE DE VISTE TWO SEATED CAVALRY
OFFICERS WONDERFUL CAMPAIGN IMAGE WASHINGTON D.C.
PHOTOGRAPHER: A truly wonderful Carte De
Viste! These two cavalry officers are posed in what
appears to be a campaign setting, as both are seated on
crates, as opposed to the chairs or stools normally seen
in studio settings.
Both officers are captains their shoulder straps
visible on their short shell jackets - and both are
wearing thigh high leather boots obviously both
dressed for leading their mounted columns. The officer
on the right has his officers campaign hat resting on
the toe of his boot and the crossed sabre insignia as
well as the black and bullion hat cord is visible on the
hat.
The reverse of the CDV bears the name of the
photographer, R. W. Addis, 308 Pennsylvania Ave.,
Washington D. C.. This CDV, measuring 4 by 2 3/8, is
in very good to excellent condition, with no edge wear
or damage and no bends or damage to the corners.
This is a particularly nice image, capturing two cavalry
officers in the field, rather than the more commonly
found studio made images, and both are dressed in the
very desirable fashion typical of the Civil War cavalry
officers on campaign.
