The sitter is named as William Sharon, though the caption card's dates of 1821 to 1835 do not match the career that made the name known. The senator from Nevada and banker tied to the Comstock Lode lived from 1821 to 1885, so the dates on the card are likely mistaken or refer to something else. The print was made by Brady's studio in Washington, D.C., which photographed many public figures in the decades after the Civil War. The record gives no firm date, so the sitter's identity and the year of the portrait are worth checking against other sources.
