    Description

    Over 5000 troops photographed.  They look like ants or background brush because there is so many of them in a very tight formation.
    And the closeups are famous generals I’m told they are Teddy Roosevelt and the Rough Riders.  There is a puncture in the upper left hand corner that hasn't been poked entirely thru but the paper is still there (it is not interfering with any image except white sky which I have taken a closeup of).
    This is actually 2 large photos glued to a cardboard backing which was the technique in 1898.
    The seam is noticeable but only if you are looking for it.
    I don't know whether the frame is original or not but it is definitely quite old with a wooded backing.  No glass included since I cracked it while removing it from the wall it was mounted on.
    The multitude of troops and the size of the photo make this a very rare find.
    I am not an expert on vintage photography but I will try to answer as may questions as you have.
    Shipping price includes appropriate packaging and insurance.
