Full Standing Union Soldier CDV Portrait with Kepi
Albumen carte de visite portrait of a Union soldier standing full length in uniform. He wears a kepi and long military frock coat with shoulder straps and belt, posed beside a studio table with draped cloth.

The reverse bears a photographer’s stamp reading Wallin & Co., 117 Lake St., Chicago, along with a blue 2-cent U.S. Internal Revenue stamp.
An appealing Chicago studio CDV with revenue stamp from the Civil War tax period.
