Rare early war 1/6th Ambrotype portrait of volunteer aged young man. Sitter appears to be wearing a homespun striped shirt with gilt buttons. The man is identified on the back as John Sykes. The previous owner indicated that the belt buckle he is wearing was from a Massachusetts Volunteer unit. As with many Civil War era photography there is generally some ambiguity connected to pieces such as this. The image had no case and the glass is missing from the Ambrotype. The glass plate has an even break and image holds together despite this. We included a picture of photo out of frame to show that it has seen some rough care over the years. Please Note: The belt buckle is unusual and is Military or Militia related, BUT details on the buckle are NOT fully discernible.
