CDV shows Howland posed with his hands resting on the hilt of his Model 1850 foot officer’s sword which he has drawn in front of him. He wears a forage cap with an infantry hunting horn on the front of the crown. At center of the horn is the number “127.” He also wears a dark single-breasted frock coat with shoulder straps. At his waist is his sash, sword belt with attached scabbard and a holstered pistol with white grip.

Contrast and clarity are excellent. Mount has clipped corners and the paper has light surface dirt. Left edge is trimmed.

Reverse has a photographer’s imprint for CHARLES D. FREDRICKS & CO… NEW YORK. Bottom has a faint period ink inscription of “TRULY YOURS WM. HOWLAND, CO. A MONITORS.” There is also some collector information in pencil with minor dirt and wear scattered over the surface of the reverse.
