This poignant carte de visite (CDV) captures the haunting image of a Civil War soldier, visibly marked by the consequences of battle. The photograph focuses not only on the soldier's uniformed presence but also draws attention to his severely mutilated hand, which he holds in front of him, offering a raw glimpse into the personal toll of war.
The soldier’s calm yet resolute expression reflects the resilience and stoicism of those who endured the hardships of the battlefield. The CDV, though worn and faded with time, retains its powerful narrative, providing a rare and valuable glimpse into the physical scars left by the Civil War.
