The record identifies the sitter as A.J. Dobbins, a brigadier general in the Confederate States Army, which sets this portrait apart from the many military studies of the period. Its date is given only as sometime between 1860 and 1880, so it most likely dates from the Civil War or the years just after it, when photographers in the South and North produced large numbers of officer portraits. Such images were often bought, traded, or carried as keepsakes, and they remain useful for studying how Confederate officers presented themselves.
