Soldier next to flag

[jpro]

This is my first image featuring a flag. It was in an oval frame which I switched out with a ornate square one,
so you can now see the flag. It's a little 1/9th image with full case. Fits in well with the others. I may try to purchase a few more with flags. For those who appreciate CW images ... Enjoy!

He appears to be wearing a frock coat with the high collar unbuttoned, folded over, and spread open to resemble lapels and show off his snazzy bow tie. **** the regulations, I look good!

Looking good!

Love it, thanks for sharing. Here's the only one I've got with a flag...

Thanks, although I wouldn't say it blows yours away; your image is excellent with the turned down jacket, dapper bow tie, cocked elbow, canted cap, and loads of attitude in that expression!!

On his flag I see one star that appears separated from the others, perhaps inside a circular pattern of other stars... have you looked at old period flags to see if you can find a match for that pattern of stars on the field...?

They are both great pieces!

Nice photos!

Great image, jpro! I think this unusual photo might have the same backdrop:

It's unidentified but there was apparently a sticker ID'ing the photographer: "Robt. T. Knight's Eagle Photograph Gallery, Washington, D.C." http://www.cowanauctions.com/auctions/item.aspx?id=15861

I wonder why he chose to have the photo taken this way? Not exactly Arnold Schwarzenegger, just a scrawny young man. Maybe he wanted to show his mama he had not wounds! Odd, is it not?

I looked and there is a flag that has the original circle of stars and another in the middle but this one seems to have two circles. It might be a cushion made from an older flag, that has a few stars added to it. It looks to me as if it has cording around the outer edge.
I might be this:

I'm thinking it's more of a cushion with stars than a flag. Who knows? Still a image I like.
Got another coming with a REAL flag!! Still not as aweome as private Watkins image though!!!

At first glance, a cushion with stars was my first thought as well.

Hard to tell, but still a great image.

They are all awesome, those pictures of people we never knew, but who fought for what they believed was right. Keep them coming!
