This is a very nice cdv photograph of Aldrich standing in full uniform. Studio view of him wearing single-breasted frock with shoulder straps, sash, sword belt, gauntlets, trousers with thin stripe down leg, and he has his sword propped in front of him. Perfectly clear with good contrast.

Typical mount with ruled border; untrimmed. Nicely signed in ink at bottom, “Capt. John Aldrich, Co A 15 NHV”. No backmark.
