The caption card identifies the sitter as George W. Randolph, a name that most likely refers to George Wythe Randolph, the Virginian who served as Confederate Secretary of War in 1862. He was a grandson of Thomas Jefferson, and his brief tenure in Richmond was marked by disputes over military strategy and administration before he resigned that November. The record does not give a date for the photograph, so it is best read as a portrait from the Civil War-era collection in which it is filed.
