Description

This unidentified infantryman from the Mexican War period, is wearing his 1832 regulation jacket. I believe the image was taken from a daguerreotype from the late 1840s era, and retaken by the photographers, “N.S.D. & Co.  1865”  this being the ink cancel on the 2 cent U.S. Revenue stamp on the reverse.

Some staining and foxing, but nonetheless a nice study image of a rear U.S. Army uniform jacket.

Very good.

From the Michael McAfee Collection.
