Civil War CDV Armed Union Soldier w/ Sword Washington DC Backmark Camp Scene. Original Civil War era CDV photograph depicting an armed Union soldier standing in full uniform with his sword at his side, posed confidently before a detailed military backdrop featuring Union tents, a cannon/wagon wheel, and an American flag. This type of imagery is very commonly associated with Union infantry regiments, particularly those photographed in or near Washington, D. Where many units passed through for mustering, defense duty, or hospital rotation. Holyland, Metropolitan Gallery, 230 Pennsylvania Ave. Holyland photographed many soldiers from Army of the Potomac infantry regiments, as well as men stationed at the Washington defenses, giving this CDV strong potential regimental significance.

Crisp details; strong pose; excellent composition. Light foxing/edge wear as expected for 160-year-old paper.
