A rare offering from our decades of collecting Manie images, this early Civil War 6th plate tintype of brothers Charles R. & George M. Delano emanated from a small group of Maine Averall family tintypes. As to provenance, each photo in the group bore an early 1900’s gummed label identification authored by Ira Dunn Averill (1871-1933) the son of Benjamin Dunn Averill and William S. Averill both of the 1st Maine Heavy Artillery. (see our items: 63521 & 63523 ) While specifically how the Delano brothers image was maintained in the Averill family group will require some additional research, we did find that Averill family member Frank W. Averill served in the 1st Maine Cavalry with the Delano brothers. Charles and George Delano of Turner, Maine entered Civil War service together when they were mustered in on October 31,1861 as Privates of Co. G 1st Maine Cavalry. Charles Delano would be killed in action with the circumstances of his death and burial recounted in detail on pages 258 & 259 of Tobie’s, History of the First Maine Cavalry, 1861–1865. available in full at Archive.org . (For a full article and more formal later Civil War image of Charles Delano, Google: The Death and Burial of Private Charles R. Delano of the 1st Maine Cavalry – Iron Brigader Our letter attesting to the above will be included with the tintype. Buy with confidence!
