A studio carte de visite of a bearded Union officer in a frock coat, the sort of small albumen card that circulated by the millions during the American Civil War. Cards like this were often made in photographic studios in towns near camps and army posts, and soldiers sat for them before leaving home or heading to the front, then exchanged them with family and comrades. The officer's identity is not recorded here, so the sitting is best read as a window onto everyday wartime portraiture rather than a specific battlefield moment. Notice the frock coat and the carefully posed stance, typical of studio conventions of the period.
