<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 243113, member: 33&quot;]Oh, and another thing... I had been thinking this might actually be a later photo taken of an earlier photo that was in a case... like an ambrotype or a tintype. The original most likely would not be a daguerreotype, because they were pretty much never used by the time of the Civil War.</p><p><br /></p><p>The things that make me think the original could be a cased photo are:</p><p>1) The angled corners at the edges of the image that are reminiscent of the edges of a mat in a cased photo.</p><p><br /></p><p>2) In the lower right part of the photo there are some bright spots around his hand that remind me of mold defects that can appear on the glass covering old cased photos. Sometimes the defects even appear on the images themselves.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
