Featured in this lot are three, original studio photographs of Military & Fraternal men from the 1880s to 1890s. The first photo was taken by Taylor Photography in Hot Springs, South Dakota and shows a man in his USV (United States Volunteers) 3rd Cavalry uniform, holding his sword by his side as he stands sideways to the viewer, looking to the left. The second photo shows a man in fraternal uniform, thought to be the Ancient Order of Hibernians uniform. The man pictured looks directly at the camera and wears his uniform, has his sword connected to his hip and holds his large, feathered hat with a cross on it. The back of the photo identifies the man as Percy Moore, but the man bears a strong resemblance to Michael J. Dunn (Born 1856) and known member of the Ancient Order of Hibernians. The third photo shows an 1898-1900 US NCO / Officer Infantry man posing for a photo in Imperial Studio in San Francisco, California. He is wearing a hat with an eagle badge, a button jacket with the US Infantry badge set on the collar, white gloves, and gray or blue pants with a white line down the entirety of the sides. He holds his sword across his lap as he sits and poses for the photo. The photos in this lot show good condition overall with wear present from their age and use over the years, but no major signs of damage is noted.
