7.25 x 15” albumen, matted in black velvet, mounted in ornate period gilt frame, w/inner trim, 14.25 x 16.75”, and wooden backing.

Albumen back-mark stamp: “From F. Guterkunst, Photographer 712 Arch Street Philadelphia.” Image features bust shot of bareheaded Col. Glenn in double breasted frock uniform coat, and is lightly yellowed while remaining clean and clear. Gilt frame exhibits slight cracks and the margins, while remaining bright and attractive.  Outer wooden back panel is split and needs reinforcing (which can be easily done.)
