Little beyond the sitter's name survives on the card: John Dunlop Stevenson, who lived from 1821 to 1897, and his placement in the Civil War Photograph Collection, which suggests a military connection. The date is unrecorded, so the portrait cannot be tied to a specific campaign or sitting. During the 1860s, studios produced and sold small portraits like this in large numbers, and families, comrades and supporters collected them. Such images give historians a direct look at men whose names otherwise appear mainly in muster rolls and official reports.
