Nice vignette bust image of Headley in a dark civilian suit.

Image is clear with excellent contrast. Mount and paper are good but the lower edge of the mount does have a dark stain as does upper right corner.

Reverse has photographer’s imprint for S.S. HULL’S…WILKES-BARRE, PA. There is also a wonderful period ink inscription “YOURS TRULY G. F. HEADLEY 15^th PENNA. CAV.
