Submitted for your consideration is a CDV from the Civil War era, depicting a Soldier who has returned home to find a baby in a cradle. This war veteran didn't need Maury Povich to know that he is "NOT the father".
Solider is wearing his uniform, with cloak, holding a musket in one hand, and pointing at baby in cradle with the other hand. Caption is, "Who's Been Here Since I'se Been Gone(?)".
This is not a modern reprint, replica, etc. It is the Real Deal, from the 1860s, and an extremely scarce example of Civil War humor in the Carte-de-visite (CDV) format.
CONDITION: G+. Crease at Lower Right Front Corner. Back has two hairline creases, and a round discolored circle of about 5/8" diameter. A nick, notch or bump, here/there. Not a museum piece, but nothing terminally wrong.
DIMENSIONS: Just under 4" x 2 1/4". Very unique Civil War humor on a CDV. No photographer's mark on reverse, as shown.
Price is FIRM @ $80.00/cash. NO HAGGLERS! T'aint no yahhd sale, folks. Buyer to pick up in CONCORD NH.
IMPORTANT: Please do NOT expect a reply from "Is the item still for sale?", or anything of the generic kind that phishing robots often send. If you can read the ad, then "the item" is still for sale, so please NAME the item. Including a PHONE NUMBER tells me your interest is genuine. Thank you for your kind understanding.
