The sitter is identified as Captain C.M. Morris, though that name comes from an old caption card and has not been independently verified. The portrait ran as a wood engraving in *Harper's Weekly* in 1864, in volume 8, page 753, during the Civil War, when the magazine regularly published engraved likenesses of officers and public figures for a national readership. Engravers of the period cut these likenesses by hand into wood blocks, often working from photographs or sketches, so the fine lines and shading may differ somewhat from the original source.
