INDIAN WARS ERA CABINET CARD OF A CAVALRY MAN
ARMED WITH A TRAPDOOR CARBINE – PARTICULARLY NICE AND
UNUSUAL OUTDOOR IMAGE:
This is a particularly
nice cabinet card image of a late Indian Wars cavalry
man, striking quite a pose as he stands on a rise above
a tent encampment. He has his trapdoor carbine over his
shoulder and is dressed in the dark blue wool shirt, tan
campaign hat, and high boots of the period. His holster
and dark blue Mills woven cartridge belt are also
visible. This desirable outdoor view of a single
solider showing this amount of detail is considerably
more unusual than the standard in-house studio
photographs of the period. The image itself measures 3"
high and 2.25" wide, with the mounting card adding an
inch to all sides. The condition is quite good with no
damage or scuffing to the image surface. (C-152) $375
