Lot 162: - Civil War, Tintype Nude Portrait of Soldier Fleischer's Auction House Columbus, Ohio, OH, US August 05, 2023 Quarter plate tintype. Half leatherette case. Unprecedented and significant quarter plate-sized original tintype photograph of a nude Union Civil War soldier. The muscular subject stands in the dirt with his arms folded across his chest, naked from head to toe. A crudely painted camp scene backdrop hangs behind him, strongly indicating that a photographer in the field made this image c. 1863. The rarity of such subject matter cannot be overstated. Nudity in Civil War photography is virtually unheard of outside of a very occasional academic example produced in hospitals for medical study during the later stages of the War. Nudity in those images is typically incidental, as the photographs are usually focused on a wound, not the soldier. This particular subject does not appear to be hurt, making the purpose of this full-length nude tintype photograph entirely speculative. We are aware of no other examples. Given the sensibilities of the era this plate raises provocative questions. Was he nursing some unseen injury? Was he simply showing off?
