Few things in the Gettysburg collection capture the Civil War as quietly as a studio portrait of a seated officer in a double-breasted uniform. Photographers in the 1860s often set their sitters in a painted room with a chair, a draped table, and a backdrop, so the figure looks composed and formal in a way that reflects the era's expectations about dignity and rank. Uniform portraits like this one were frequently taken before a man shipped out, and they were sent home to families as keepsakes. The double-breasted coat and the officer's posture give a sense of how carefully such images were staged.
