Stephen Barton, Jr. is identified here through a caption card rather than a dated record, and the note attached to it flags the information as unverified and old. The print is a carte-de-visite, the small card-mounted portrait format that became hugely popular in the 1860s, when families and friends traded these images as keepsakes. It comes from an album associated with Clara Barton, the nurse and founder of the American Red Cross, which places it within the personal collections kept by a family in the Civil War era. Beyond that, the record offers no date or further biography, so the sitter's life and circumstances remain open to research.
