This man looks like he's intending on marching across the South and burning Atlanta to the ground.
Where's Ross McElwee when you need him?
This man looks like he's got a Napoleon fixation - or the photographer did.
The Nappy look was popular in military shots back then - I've seen a few privates and sergeants with it.Go figure.
cameras took long exposures then,and you had to be still. no doubt some jocularity was involved in the hand in the vest/coat thing,but mainly comfort waiting on the photog.
One of the great men of the 19th century. Great photo.
