    This is a nicely tinted Civil War US Marine. He wears the standard Civil War dress uniform with double row of seven buttons and stand up collar.

    On the column his kepi is visible with a crisp old English "M" that has been tinted red.

    This image is a copy of an earlier albumen, but it is very well done and doesn't show any loss of detailing.

    The photographer G.W. Entrekin was in business at this address from 1865- 1903. This particular card is on very thin/ early cabinet card stock and dates from about 1865- 1870.

    My photos don't copy/ post/ otherwise use without permission!

      It always amazes me how well groomed some of these old soldiers were.

      Thanks for looking and commenting fhrjr2.

      It depends a lot on the where-- city studio shots often show them at their best, while field and travelling studios give a better idea of how they really looked.
