8x10 Glass Negative Duo – General Officer Portrait with Scroll Banner – CMY Separation (Set of 2)

Description :
This pair of 8x10 photographic glass plates captures a sharply detailed portrait of a U.S. Army general, posed in a stoic three-quarter view. The uniform features a four-star insignia on the collar and a formal service cap bearing the Great Seal of the United States. At the base of the portrait is a scroll-style nameplate area, indicative of use in military commemorations, command hall installations, or publications. This set includes two of the four CMYK separation layers—Red (Magenta) and Yellow—both marked for professional halftone color processing.
