Best described here as to eye appeal and condition by our photo illustrations, this desirable photo case remains in pleasing condition, tight at the hinges and clasp with only the most minor evidence of careful period use and handling. Referred to by collectors as end of the day cases as such less frequently found, front to back, mismatched examples are thought to be the product of end of the day work bench cleanup, this example offers not one but two of the most desirable designs. On one side we see the figure of Sir Henry Havelock in the distinctive later 1850s through early American Civil War issue headgear that he popularized and that bore his name*, while the side offers the armed view of hunter and stag. Marked Littlefield Parsons / Union Cases and patent dated 1856 & 1857, this is desirable photo case will be of special interest, not only to the early photography collector, but to the Civil War military collector and period hunting buff.
