I purchasd this photo many years ago. It is a sepia-toned albumen photo, cardboard mounted, about 6 1/2" x 8 1/2", circa 1895 - 1908.
Is it a United Confederate Veteran (UCV) reunion photo? Or Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV) reunion photo?
Notice there are 14 soldiers at the top of photo all wearing uniforms with the Model 1895 U.S. military cap for enlisted men. Many of the other "soldiers" wear medals. Some men appear to be wearing Confederate style uniforms, especially the frock coats of light color. The albumen depicts a reunion of some sort. The background appears to be a southern building. The two flags in the background on the right and left of doorway appear to be the famous Confederate Battle Flag.
What do you think?
