Lot of 21. An unrelated group of Civil War-period photographs consisting of 10 military CDVs and 3 uncased tintypes, all but one unidentified. Plus a post-war mounted albumen measuring 4.25 x 6.5 in., depicting a musician ink identified as “J. G. Campbell, 7th Infantry.” Six more civilian CDVs come with the group including a man dressed in fraternal uniform carrying sword. Among the Civil War CDVs is a lightly tinted infantry lieutenant steadying his sword (no back mark), a young navy midshipman with anchor insignia, together with seven sundry enlisted men, one having a “Richmond, Indiana” imprint. The best of the three tintype portraits is an eight plate of a pistol armed Massachusetts artilleryman uniformed in a state-issue ten button shell jacket and imported British infantry belt rig with snake buckle demonstrating that the ubiquitous buckle is not exclusively a Confederate accouterment. The musician wears the M1872 frock coat with cuff slashes and M1881 helmet. The best image is an identified CDV of Colonel David Putman photographed as captain of the 69th OVI standing with sword. The carte has a “Columbus, O” blind stamp and is identified in old pencil on the front and back and comes with a torn piece of album sleeve that reads “Col D. Putman.” The forty year old Putman joined Company E, 69th OVI in October 1861. After assuming command of the 69th at Stones’ River (see O.R.’s) where the regiment suffered heavy casualties, Putman resigned in June 1863. He later became colonel of the 100 day 152nd OVI that served in West Virginia as railroad guards and fought one action at Greenbrier Gap on June 22, 1864. Image is likely unpublished; not in Hunt’s Colonels in Blue—Michigan, Ohio and West Virginia. Condition: CDVs uniformly G. with varying degree of wear and soiling. Putman carte trimmed at bottom with chipped albumen and wear. Tintypes all slightly dark but undamaged, one with convex, another with concave bends.
