Original CDV of a Civil War soldier with his kepi and a book or diary on a prop railing besides him. Interesting painted backdrop... unfortunately the back is blank and I cannot identify the photographer, however, this CDV came out of a larger lot of 1860s CDVs which were mostly taken San Francisco and Northern California studios.
4" x 2.5". Blank back. Very good antique condition overall. Light crinkle in the upper-left corner of the image but this does not go through to the back and has either been glued back down at some point or has been there since day 1.
