Image is of David H. Bradlee posed by a draped chair. He wears a dark frock coat open at the midriff and light trousers. 1^st Lieutenant shoulder straps are plainly visible and in his left hand he holds a dark McDowell style forage cap with an infantry hunting horn on the front with a regimental number at center.

Image has good clarity and contrast. Mount is good. Paper has one or two spots of discoloration but nothing that touches the subject.

Reverse has no photographer’s imprint. There is a period pencil ID that reads “LT. BRADLEY ADJ. 13^th MASS.” Below this in old modern ink is “1^ST LIEUT. DAVID H. BRADLEE, ADJUTANT 13 MASS. VOL. INF.”
