I JUST FOUND THIS REALLY GREAT AND LARGER SIZE CDV TYPE PHOTO PRINT IN AN OLD OHIO ESTATE. IT IS IN ITS ORIGINAL FRAME BACKING AND GLASS. THE BLUE AND RED IS SUPER SHARP AND CRISP. IT ALSO HAS LIGHT GOLD HIGHLIGHTS ON THE VERY ORNATE DECORATIONS ON THE SWORD HANDLE AND DOWN ON THE SCABBARD.
THE IMAGE IS VERY SHARP THOUGH THERE MAYBE SOME LIGHTENING. IT IS CDV PHOTO LAYED DOWN ON PAPER. PHOTOGRAPHERS MARK ALONG BOTTOM SAYS DOUGLASS & CO 230 MAIN STREET BUFFALO NY. I REMOVED A FEW NAILS ON BACK TO SEE IF IT HAD AN ID. THERE IS A PAPER THAT SAYS THIS PORTRAIT OF A CIVIL WAR SOLDIER CAME FROM THE OLD STONE TAVERN IN POLAND OHIO IN 1975 AND IS DATED 1991. FAMILY NAME OF THAT OWNER IS THERE TOO BUT NOT POSTING IT. I SHOWED HIS SHOULDER BAR TO IDENTIFY HIS POSITION IN THE INFANTRY. NO RIPS TEARS WATER STAINS. THE THIN WHITE LINE ON HIS FOREHEAD IS JUST A TINY PIECE OF PAPER THAT WILL COME RIGHT OFF.THE DETAILS ARE ACTUALLY BETTER IN PERSON. THIS IS TRUE AND AUTHENTIC AND NOT SOME FAKED UP PIECE.
IT HAS NEVER BEEN ON THE MARKET. THOUGH IT HAS A NEW YORK MARK IT WAS ALWAYS IN THIS FAMILY AND COULD BE AN OHIO SOLDIER.
SOME CHIPS TO FRAME THAT ARE MINOR. IT WAS REPAINTED GOLD PROBABLY AROUND 1900. FRAME IS 1 3/4 INCHES AT DEEPEST. 14 5/8 HIGH 12 5/8 WIDE.
IMAGE ALONE NOT INCLUDING PAPER IT IS LAYED DOWN ON IS 7 1/4 INCHES BY 5 1/4 WIDE. THESE LARGER IMAGES ARE FAR FROM BEING COMMON.
