Vignette Carte de Visite Portrait of Young Man in Military Coat, Civil War Era

A vignette-style carte de visite portrait of an unidentified young man in a military coat, circa 1861-1870. The soft-fading vignette technique was a popular studio choice of the era, used to lend a more artistic, dignified quality to personal keepsake photographs exchanged during and after the Civil War.
