Sixth Plate Tintype of Two Union Musicians
View This Item
Lot # 22 - Sixth Plate Tintype of Two Union Musicians
Sixth plate tintype portrait of a pair of Civil War bandsmen. The privates wear standard nine-button frock coats and are part of an unidentified regimental band. Both of the musicians display over-the-shoulder brass horns in different sizes. Housed in Union case with floral decoration. 

Regimental bands were abolished under a General Order dated July 1862, and the bandsmen mustered out. Field music (a separate entity from the band) consisting of fife and drum remained at the regimental level. While technically contrary to regulations, certain music loving units conspired to organize full brass brigade bands which existed until the end of the war.
