I finally finished my inventory of 59 Civil War soldiers (actually 58 + Harriet Beecher Stowe)… and their cases. I uploaded them to Flickr to share them with other fans of this collecting hobby. Below is a slideshow, also available in full-screen size at Flickr (pretty dramatic).
These were photographed with a Canon EOS Rebel XS on a tripod. They were brightened up in Photoshop, as needed, for the purposes of sharing. You can kind of tell how much brightening by how blown the highlights are in the preserver.
A vast and amazing collection. Do you plan to sell soon? Auction? Keep?
Eric, I think we’ll enjoy these for the time being. Still trying to sell some of the “underbrush.” AND we have dozens of non-military tin/ambro/dags to pour over and organize. Very interesting.
LOVE CW history!! This is fabulous, Susan!! [But then, I've never known your work to be anything less than fabulous so...YAY!]
Thank you. ♥
