The portrait shows Isham W. Garrott, whose dates of 1816 to 1863 place his life almost entirely within the years before and during the Civil War. The print is an albumen silver photograph, a process that dominated portrait studios from the early 1850s into the 1880s and gave sharp detail with a warm, brownish tone. The record dates it to between 1861 and 1863, though that date comes from an unverified caption card, so the exact year of the sitting is not certain. Studio portraits from these years often served as keepsakes for families who were parting with soldiers or officials, which makes such images useful for understanding everyday life in wartime.
