Description:
This lot consists of three items. First is a 1/6 plate tintype of an identified mustachioed Union Corporal wearing a narrow brimmed civilian hat, enlisted frock coat with double bar chevrons on the sleeves, nine-button waistcoat, watch chain, and what looks to be a small XIV Corps badge pin (a stylized red or blue acorn on a white background) on his right breast. He is pictured standing with his left hand gripping the front of his coat, and his right hand in his hip pocket. The plate is housed in a velvet lined case that no longer has the protective cover attached. Second is a carte de visite fo a seated and bareheaded Union Private wearing a sack coat with service stripes on the sleeves. His arm rests on a small table at his side. The reverse of the CDV is studio marked: "INGRAHAM BROS, / PHOTOGRAPHERS, / WESTFIELD, / MASS," with a legible name written in pencil at the top: "Ephraim Moore." Ephraim T. Moore was a 27 year old whip maker from Westfield, MA, when he enlisted on June 14, 1861, mustering into Co. K, 10th Massachusetts Infantry a week later. Moore re-enlisted on December 21, 1863, which explains his service stripes as General Order 191 of June 25, 1863 authorized the wear of service stripes for veterans who re-enlisted but did not yet have five years of service. He was killed on the first day of the Battle of the Wilderness on May 5, 1864, as the 10th Massachusetts, as part of Getty’s detached division, held the intersection of the Plank and Brock roads. The last piece is a carte de visite depicting a well known portrait of Gen. Benjamin F. Butler, best known as the military governor of New Orleans for the first two years of the Civil War. This is a nice little assortment of Civil War photos, one of which is a poignant memento of a fallen soldier.;
