The caption identifies the sitter as W.B. Hatch, colonel of the 4th New Jersey Infantry, shown in a half-length seated pose turned to the left. The caption card records no date, so the record alone cannot tie the portrait to a specific campaign or war, though the regimental designation points to a volunteer or militia unit. Studio portraits of regimental officers like this one were often made for families or for circulation among comrades, and they preserve the uniform and bearing of men who led local troops. Researchers wanting to fix Hatch's service years should check regimental rosters and New Jersey state records.
