This photograph features a chest-up view of young Almond B. Frank in Federal uniform. He wears the typical Federal 9-button frock and forage cap. Upon a close look, a small patriotic flag/eagle device is visible above the chin strap of his cap. Buttons were gilted and cheeks were slightly tinted. Clarity and contrast are very good.

This image is identified to Almond B. Frank by way of a printed name card found in the case behind the photograph.
