Description |
Half-plate ambrotype with applied color of a full length portrait of Brigadier General William Wing Loring in uniform, bearing a sword. Only a small percentage of cased image photographs bear direct evidence of their photographer. Charles R. Rees, a photographer who worked in Richmond, etched his name into the glass of this portrait of William Wing Loring. A lawyer and politician in Florida, Loring accepted a commission as a captain in the U. S. Army during the Mexican War. He lost his left arm at the battle of Chapultepec. He remained in the U. S. Army and was the youngest colonel in the service when he resigned to join the Confederacy in 1861. He served the Confederacy in three different armies and rose to the rank of major general. Following the war, Loring went abroad and became a general in the army of the Khedive of Egypt from 1869 to 1879. The image was reversed in the frame and shows Loring missing his right arm.
