Carte de visite with split at top portrait of an unidentified Union Army sergeant standing beside a draped studio table. The soldier wears a military frock coat with sergeant’s chevrons clearly visible on the sleeve, indicating a non-commissioned officer rank.

Reverse imprint reads Wolff’s Gallery, No. 10 Royal Street, Alexandria, Virginia, with photographer credit Opperman, and retains a two-cent Internal Revenue tax stamp applied during the Civil War photographic tax period.

A particularly appealing image showing the soldier confidently posed in uniform, with rank insignia clearly displayed.
