EXCELLENT IMAGE OF A SPANISH AMERICAN WAR -
PHILIPPINE INSURRECTION ERA OFFICER DRESSED IN HIS FIELD
UNIFORM:
This is a
particularly nice cabinet card image of a Spanish
American War – Philippine Insurrection Era officer,
dressed in his khaki field uniform. As noted on the
border of the matting board, this image was taken in San
Francisco, likely upon his return from service in the
Philippine Islands – his service in the Philippines
indicated by the 8TH Corps red enameled
service he wears above his left breast pocket. His
uniform also bears the 1898 National Eagle Badges and
his rank insignia on both shoulder straps. From what
can be seen in the image, this officer appears to have
been a First or Second Lieutenant.
The image
proper, measuring 5 ½" x 3 ¾” is mounted on photography
studio card stock which measures 8” x 6" and bears the
name of the studio in San Francisco. The condition of
this image is quite good with no damage or scuffing to
the image surface.
Fresh from an
old eastern estate, this would a nice image to display
with a grouping of Spanish American War or Philippine
Insurrection Era artifacts. (0804) $175
NOTE:
The 8TH Corps Philippine Service Medal
shown in the color photo below is only for the purposes
of identifying the medal worn on the officer’s uniform
coat and is not included in this sale.
