Union Civil War Officer by James Presley Ball African American Photographer CDV

  

For sale is a great CDV of a unidentified union officer taken by renowned African American photographer, J. The officeris fitted with a infantry hardee hat w/feather and a special bugle insignia. His coat and pants are correct with a officer sash.

He is wearing leather gauntlets holding his sword. The photo has no damage but does shows age as it should. The back shows that the officer was wrongly identified at some time.

The vintage frame is included. He was known around the US and the world as a photographer and a abolitionist. I have to refer one to "Google" J P Ball and read pages and pages of info about this great talented man.
