Description on ebay:
“Pvt. E. Presley of the Tupulo (Miss.) Rangers. Proof the “Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter” movie was not fiction!!! Elvis lives, all right — he’s the undead. Here he is in his earlier guise as a Confederate soldier. — OK, of course I’m joking, but you have to admit this Southern soldier’s looks are uncannily like the late great Elvis. This is a sixth-plate ambrotype, original to the Civil War, of an unknown Rebel. I have studied the buttons, and as well as I can make out under the gilding, they may be Georgia. The condition is as you see it. The surface has a bit of staining around the rim, as you can see, so long ago I stripped the backing from that piece of glass, placed glass over the emulsion side, and taped the pieces of glass together (with separator pieces of tape) to make sure that nothing is touching the emulsion. That allows you to view it from either the front as originally shown, where the image of course is reversed, or what was the rear, where the image is easier to see. It’s in a battered case. It’s a touching image of a handsome young Confederate solder, looking soulful and vulnerable.”
