Description
Carte-de-visite (CDV) photograph of H.F. Wilcox, officer in the U.S. Navy during the Civil War. Identified in pencil on verso. Wilcox is described as hailing from Milwaukee, Wisconsin in one wartime periodical.
In this portrait, Wilcox sits sideways on a chair, with a finger pressed to his chin as he peers off camera. It almost appears as if he is exaggerating a pensive moment, perhaps as a joke. He also wears an enormous hat, which is reminiscent of a sombrero. It may simply be a large sennet hat, which were common at the time.
Unusually artistic portrait of a U.S. Naval officer. Condition as shown.
[Civil War] [U.S. Navy] [Union, Confederate]
[Antique Photography, Daguerreotype, Ambrotype, Tintype, Albumen, CDV, Cabinet Card]
