The cabinet card, typical of the Civil War era, features a solemn man in a military uniform standing against a plain backdrop, his hands clasped behind his back, indicating a formal military posture; to his side, a small, ornate table draped with a richly patterned cloth holds a neatly arranged hat, adding a touch of personal detail and a hint of elegance to the sepia-toned photograph, which has slightly worn edges.
