Original CDV a man holding a sign that says, "The Art Preservative" on it. He is ID'd on the back as J. Teasdale.. his full name was James Teasdale, he was a Civil War soldier, Wisconsin Infantry... I have several other photos of him. On the back he signed his name along with a date of Jan 28, 1863, and Dodgeville, Wisconsin. Photographer imprint on the back is J.J. Cornish. Good or better antique condition, though the mount is slightly trimmed to 3.75" x 2.5".
