This photograph captures a moment from the Spanish American War, featuring an American soldier proudly posing with his Rifle with Bayonet. The image is in black and white, with a glossy finish, and is an original print from around 1898. It is a portrait orientation and features a single photograph. His belt buckle is one with the letters "US" on it. He also has his Forage cap with emblem in his hand from the era. Photo was taken by Rickey Studio, in Indianola, Iowa. There are no writings or markings on the back. A very nice cabinet card photo. The 4.25? x 6.5? photograph is a piece of history and is ideal for collectors interested in military and American history. It would make a great addition to any collection, particularly those focused on the Spanish American War.
