He wears a dark kepi with a small infantry hunting horn on the front of the crown, dark shell jacket and light trousers.

Contrast and clarity are excellent. Mount and paper are also very good. Bottom of mount has a period ink ID of “GEORGE MALONEY.”

Reverse is blank but for a period ink ID at bottom of “MUSICIAN CO. H 109^TH REGT.” There is also some collector information in pencil.
