Stonewall Jackson Civil War Confederate Camp Photo Fr STONEWALL JACKSON Stonewall Jackson photo (REPRINT) taken from an original Ambrotype which was destroyed. Photo was taken at Jackson's Headquarters near Winchester Virginia. This unique photograph is an exceptional scene of Jackson in a relaxed, informal pose, in camp between campaigns. All other known photographs of this legendary Confederate commander (four in all, two war date) are formal, studio portraits. This image constitutes the only known one of Jackson in the field, and is also sole full-length of Jackson in existence. Jackson, in slouch hat, trousers, campaign jacket, and tall boots leans against a log fence. Behind him is an open canvas ten with a soldier (James Briscoe), seated on a stool looking toward the camera. Provenance Mark Katz, photographic historian (author of Custer in Photographs, Witness to an Era) acquired from the executor of the Briscoe estate. A letter describing the history of the now lost ambrotype accompanied the lot: "The original ambrotype was never found and is presumed destroyed...The image...is presumed to be the only copy." Published,with a brief caption in Incidents of the War/vol.3, no.1 (Spring 1988). p.10. Photo is matted and framed in a walnut moulding, overall size 16" x 13". Please note this is a REPRINT!
