A bearded man in a dark suit and bow tie sits turned in profile, a pose studio photographers of the 1860s often chose to show a sitter's jaw, beard and bearing. The record does not name him, so his rank and unit cannot be confirmed here, though the board files the picture under Confederate subjects tied to Gettysburg, where Union and Confederate armies fought in July 1863. Studio portraits like this were often issued as cartes de visite, small albumen prints that families and comrades collected, traded and kept as keepsakes during and after the war.
