- Lot Description
Pastel-enhanced enlarged portrait of an unidentified Confederate 1st Lieutenant. Visible 4 7/8 x 6 15/16 in., matted and framed to 12 x 13 7/8 in.
An elegant portrait, the subject sits with his saber resting on his arm. He wears a frock coat with the braids indicating his rank as a 1st Lieutenant are traced out expertly by the artist. Housed in a stately period frame.
Enlarged photographs, such as the example here, sometimes called solarization prints or solar enlargements, were produced through a process in which a tintype/ambrotype functioned as the negative plate. These were often made as memorial pieces or as a tribute to a soldier's service. Whereas cased tintype or ambrotype images were small and primarily enjoyed intimately, these large, usually colorized prints were made to be displayed. A deceased soldier's family could hang one in a prominent location, proud of his sacrifice made during the war.
