🌻🌻NOTE: ACTUAL PHOTOS ARE MUCH CLEARER THAN SCANS SHOW🌻🌻Item: (1) Rare, vintage photo of a handsome Union Soldier holding his Rifle. He belonged to the 7th OVI / Ohio Volunteer Infantry during the Civil War. This young man probably had this photo taken from the front as he adhered it to a Christmas Card. "A Happy Christmas to you" is on the flip side. Usually these would have been turned into CDV (Carte de Visite) photos on board but it probably wasn't a...vailable. Details are super clear. Found in a collection from the Bratt Family of Ohio but there is no name on this to confirm.The 7th Ohio Volunteer Infantry (or 7th OVI) was an infantry regiment formed in northeastern Ohio for service in the Union Army during the American Civil War. It served in the Eastern Theater in a number of campaigns and battles with the Army of Virginia and the Army of the Potomac, and was then transferred to the Western Theater, where it joined the Army of the Cumberland besieged at Chattanooga. It is of the 7th regiment that a war historian wrote, "All in all, considering the number of its battles, its marches, its losses, its conduct in action, it may be safely said that not a single regiment in the United States gained more lasting honor or deserved better of its country than the Seventh Ohio Volunteer Infantry.”Size of photo: 2.50" x 3.50 Size of paper: 4.00" x 5.50" Date: 1861-1865 Condition: The photo is in good condition, but paper it is attached to is fragile.
