About this work

This is a black-and-white photo of a man with a thick beard and mustache. He’s wearing a dark uniform with a star pin on his chest. The background is plain, and the lighting is soft, mostly on his face. The photo was taken in 1870 by a company that made detailed portraits. The star pin suggests he was a high-ranking officer.
