DescriptionFull-length, three-quarter length, half-length, and bust-length portraits of men wearing military uniforms. Some have beards or mustaches. One man is seated with his elbow resting on a fringed armrest; another has his elbow resting on a table covered with a tablecloth. Some wear or hold caps. Drapery, a chair, a column, and patterned carpets or floorcloths appear in some portraits.
NotesSubject Note: The soldiers are unidentifed, but all of the photographs were taken by Connecticut photographers in Bridgeport, Colchester, Danbury, Meriden, New Britain, Norwalk, Waterbury, and Wolcottville. It is likely that the soldiers came from those towns. (Finlay 4/15/2014)Status
