2 cabinet card photos of same captain soldier before after war Atlanta Ga 1886

Description

Incredible pair of cabinet card photos of the same soldier, a captain, but taken at different times.  In the second photo, he appears older than in the first yet they are contemporary of each other.  First was taken before he reported for duty, they other after returning home.  Photo studios are different on each, but the addresses for each are next door to each other.  C.M. Motes at 34 Whitehall Street and Kuhns at 33 1/3 Whitehall Street in Atlanta.  Second photo is inscribed on the back "For Frantz with the love of Aunt Grace and Uncle West, Atlanta Ga March 6 1886".
One rarely sees photos of this era inscribed and dated.  I've never seen a pair from before and after war, showing it's devastating effects.  This is a unique chance to own some special military history.
