Tintype of Soldier Driving Federal Supply Wagon in Camp

This well-composed original tintype photograph depicts a Union soldier atop a Federal supply wagon, which has been colorized by the artist to show the wagon as it would look in real life, down to the red-tinted wheel spokes. With his team of mules, our man looks well-prepared to make his delivery of much-needed supplies. Of interest are the tents in the background, which suggest that this photograph was made in a Union camp. This is a very well done outdoor shot.

Condition is good, with some light bends and surface wear.
