This Civil War era image is also monochrome, with actual size about 8 X 10 in. Condition is heavy-group restoration.
Repairs involved removal of glue and ink splotches, correction of tear on lower right corner, restoration of frame on two sides,
restoration of man's coat, elbow, and pantleg, removal of many small ink dots throughout and correction of eyes, where there had been an attempt to highlight features (probably when the ink was spilled). The background was also corrected.

Interestingly, this original was actually a photo of a photo in a frame. The frame was held on a shelf by a nail, visible in the original. These impressions affected the restoration very little.
