Image shows the National colors of the 14^TH New Hampshire Infantry which served in the eastern and southern theater of war with the 22^nd and 19^th Corps.

The colors are displayed on the staff with the latter going diagonally across the image. The spear shaped finial is visible at top and close observation reveals that the staff runs through a sleeve on the hoist end of the color. Also present are the two tassels just below the finial.

The flag is spread out to reveal battle and wind damage such as tears and missing material. Clearly visible on one of the white stripes is “14^th NEW H…” while on alternating white stripes below it are “OPEQUAN SEPT.,” “FISHERS HILL…PT 22, 18…,” “CEDAR CREEK OCT. 19^TH 18…”

Image is clear and bright with good contrast. Mount edges are clean. Upper corners are clipped. Bottom of mount has printed caption that reads “FOURTEENTH N.H. VOL. INFANTRY.” With 1865 publishing information.

Reverse has photographer’s mark that reads KIMBALL & SONS…CONCORD, N.H. There is also some collector information in pencil.
