Description

SPANISH AMERICAN WAR US ARMY SOLDIER at GUANTANAMO CUBA with CAMOUFLAGED LEGGINGS PHOTO c1902
SPANISH AMERICAN WAR U.S. ARMY SOLDIERS at GUANTANAMO BAY CUBA.
U.S. ARMY SOLDIER ON THE RIGHT WEARS RARELY IF EVER SEEN CAMOUFLAGED LEGGINGS.
THIS MAY BE THE EARLIEST PHOTO IMAGE OF ANY CAMOUFLAGE USED IN A UNIFORM IN U.S. MILITARY HISTORY.
DURING THE SPANISH AMERICAN WAR (1898) U.S.TROOPS SMEARED MUD ON THEIR CLOTHES TO LOOK LESS CONSPICUOUS.
DIMENSIONS OF OUTER MOUNT:  7 15/16" x 10 1/4"
DIMENSIONS OF OUTER PHOTO:  4 5/8" x 6 1/2"
USED.
CONDITION OF THE MOUNT IS VERY GOOD WITH SOME LIGHT WEAR AROUND THE CORNERS AND EDGES AND A DEEP CRACKED SEPARATION ON A DIAGONAL RUNNING FROM THE FRONT LOWER LEFT EDGE TO THE UPPER EDGE CENTER. THIS IS CAUSING A WRINKLE IN THE PHOTO IN THE SAME SEPARATION SPOT. THE PHOTO IS THE ONLY THING HOLDING THE MOUNT TOGETHER FROM FURTHER SEPARATION. THE MOUNTED PHOTO NEEDS SOME TLC IN THE WAY OF PROACTIVE SUPPORT-REPAIR. THIS MOUNTED PHOTO WILL INCLUDE A NEW HARD CLEAR PLASTIC TOP LOADER TO PREVENT AND FURTHER DEGRADATION IN SHIPPING.
SEPIA.
VERY GOOD FOCUS WITH VERY GOOD CONTRAST.
THIS IS NOT A COPY OR A REPRODUCTION.
PLEASE SEE MY 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK AND BUY WITH CONFIDENCE.
