Carte de visite photograph depicting a bust-length portrait of a man identified in period pencil on the reverse as “Gen Thomas L. Price Missouri.” The albumen print is mounted on a plain card without photographer’s imprint, and the vignetted format and mount style are consistent with a Civil War-era date, circa 1860s. While the inscription uses a military title, the identification aligns more closely with Thomas Lawson Price (1809–1870), a Missouri political and militia figure rather than a confirmed Confederate general.

The sitter is shown facing forward in a double-breasted uniform coat with two vertical rows of prominent buttons and shoulder straps, with one arm bent and the other resting at his side. His hair is brushed back, and he wears a composed expression, with the uniform and wide belt plate forming the central visual focus. The image is tightly cropped with no studio props or background detail, emphasizing the torso, button pattern, and insignia.

The reverse inscription reads “Gen Thomas L. Price Missouri,” with an additional pencil notation “175–” and a faint number near the lower edge. Thomas L. Price served as a Missouri militia officer and was active in state politics, including service as lieutenant governor and in Congress during the Civil War period. The identification appears to reflect a contemporary attribution rather than a formally titled rank, and is presented here as written on the mount.
