CDV of Unidentified Union Soldier
CDV of Unidentified Union Soldier - Inventory Number: CDV 577
Photographer: A.H. Dresser, Main Street, Bucksport, Maine
This Civil War-era carte de visite features a seated Union soldier in uniform, captured in sharp detail by A.H. Dresser, a known photographer operating on Main Street in Bucksport, Maine. The young soldier, dressed in a regulation nine-button frock coat and vest, displays a calm yet resolute expression—typical of wartime studio portraits meant to send home to loved ones. While the subject remains unidentified, the backmark connects this image to the coastal region of Maine, suggesting the subject may have served in one of the many New England regiments. This CDV offers a poignant glimpse into the personal and visual history of the American Civil War.
