Lot 1636
von Borcke, Johann August Heinrich Heros. Cabinet image, matted and framed to 8 x 11". Striking full-length portrait in uniform, strong sepia tone. With his plumed hat held to one side and his other hand resting on his sword, here von Borcke embodies his reputation as the "Gallant Knight of the Confederacy". Three tiny areas of flaking with loss of image at upper right corner, two equally small ones on von Borcke's forehead, one at his ear, and one at the bottom right of the image; one very small area of apparent adhesive residue on von Borcke's leg and one diagonal, clean crack at the bottom left corner are the only flaws to this otherwise beautiful image. Very good condition.
Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,500.
