An outstanding group of eight cabinet cards featuring armed members of the San Francisco Fusileers, a prominent militia unit, photographed by Edouart & Cobb, 504 Kearney St., San Francisco, California, circa 1870s. Each portrait showcases men in full uniform, complete with rifles and ceremonial hats adorned with plumes. The intricate studio backdrop highlights the professionalism of Edouart & Cobb's photography.

The reverse sides feature ornate photographer's imprints, emblematic of 19th-century studio artistry.
