Striking outdoor CDV-format tintype depicting a uniformed 19th-century policeman posed against a tree, captured in full-length with excellent natural light and sharp focus. The officer wears a classic double-breasted frock coat adorned with two visible badges—one on his chest and another pinned at his side—and a tall kepi-style hat featuring an insignia on the front. His hands rest on a prominent oval belt buckle, and his expression is calm and confident.

This is an exceptional example of a law enforcement portrait taken outside a studio setting, allowing for a more dynamic and contextual view than most formal police images of the era. The backdrop includes trees and a building in the distance, offering a rare glimpse of uniformed duty apparel in a natural environment.
