UCV Photo and Photo Celluloid of Vet from Mobile

|
SOLD!!!
A very nice grouping of three items from a United Confederate Veteran. The first item is a photograph of the veteran. He is wearing his UCV membership lapel pin and a ribbon with a red cross and "Mobile" on the bottom of the ribbon. There is more writing above the cross but I can't read it. The photo was in an oval frame that is no longer with the group and is cut in an oval. The backing is approximately 8 1/2 inches by 6 1/2 inches. The actual photo is approximately 5 inches by 3 inches. The second item is a photograph celluloid button of the same photograph. The button is approximately 6 inches wide and has a metal backing. The third item is a Confederate battleflag pinback and I don't think it is original to the group but it came with it so it stays with it.

Outdoor CDV taken with the 14th Corp by Bonsall
|
|
SOLD!!!
A nice Civil War CDV taken by I.H. Bonsall when he was traveling with the 14th Corp through Tennessee and into Georgia. This CDV is of a house which was probably some officer's headquarters. I believe this is from Bonsall's Murfreesboro, Tennessee group of photographs. I have owned Bonsall's CDV of General Rosencran's headquarters im Murfreesboro and that photo can probably found in my "SOLD" area. This CDV fits the same format. Bonsal came from Cincinnati, Ohio and traveled with the 14th Corps through the Lookout Mountain and Chattanooga campaign. The backmark is "I.H. Bonsall, PHOTOGRAPHER, in 14th Army Corps, Formerly 14 West Fifth St., Cincinnati, O.".
