Does anyone know of any photos of Union soldiers they feel are very iconic and most relatable to a modern day veteran? Something casual, not a staged tintype studio photo. Preferably something I can find ultra high resolution in the library of congress.

[Gamble]

Problem is that with the shutter speed (it was done manually)of cameras of this era something other than staged shots was almost impossible. Any movement would cause blur. I doubt that there are many civil war fotos out there which are true casual snapshots, that’s something that only became possible some decades later with the invention of smaller formats/cameras with automatic shutters. I know that someone was doing civil war style fotography here in the forums who possibly could explain that better than me or correct me, if I was wrong.

Thanks. The gravediggers are along the lines of what I'm looking for but I'm not sure I want to use that.

Those are nice but I wish all of them were colorized. Color really brings the photos to life and puts you right there with them.

That is ridiculously fantastic Rbater, a whole company represented in a complete collection of ferrotypes! It is a shame that so many of them are unidentified.

The Colonel that gave me the tour said that it's just about the only known full collection of a company.
