Vignette bust view CDV of Edward Sellers wearing a commercial sack coat with Captains shoulder straps.

Image has excellent clarity and contrast. Bottom of image is signed in period ink "YOURS TRULY  EDWARD SELLERS." Signature looks as if Sellers did not have enough ink on his pen when he signed the image. It is readable but a bit spotty. Mount is clean and nice.

Reverse has collectors information in pencil at top and a photographers imprint for F. GUTEKUNST... PHILADELPHIA.
