News-Antique.com - Jul 11,2011 - Photo Caption - Wet plate, albumen carte de visite photograph, mounted to 2 1/2 x 4 card. Excellent full seated view of soldier wearing hospital garb and sitting on a bed with a pillow propped up behind him. No backmark. This is very possibly a captured and wounded Confederate soldier. It's very comparable to a few hospital images I had like this several years ago. Very rare and desirable! See: http://bit.ly/nYs7YW
