Two cdvs of brothers, both in uniform during the Civil War. Both were done at the C.S. German studio in Springfield, Illinois. One shows an officer in frock coat, standing next to a distinctive chair. The other shows a man who closely resembles him next to the same chair. He is wearing a shell jacket and vest. Along with these are two cdv photos of what appear to be Civil War soldiers in their underclothes: one in military trousers and boots with an undershirt, the other in all white underclothes and boots. The last is a tintype in cdv matte. Dimensions: All four are 2.25 by 4 inches. Processing and shipping within the continental U.S. $30.00 plus 1.5% replacement cost insurance.
