Nice clear image of a young soldier leaning against a column on which his overcoat and forage cap with crossed saber insignia rests.

The subject wears  the dark double piped shell jacket peculiar to the 15^th Pennsylvania with matching dark trouser and knee high boots. At his waist is his sword belt with rectangular eagle plate and on his hands he wears leather gauntlets.

Image is clean with good contrast.

Reverse is blank.
