    Early CDV. No maker mark or location. Union? Confederate? Coat seems light.

    Determining original color in early photos can be difficult, as the emulsions were less sensitive to the blue end of the spectrum. This photo is also quite faded.

    Yeah. I wasn't seeing anything else that stood out, so I thought i'd see if anyone else saw anything interesting.

    All I know is he looks like a baby - maybe 21 at the oldest. A lot of them were.
