Antique CDV Addis Gallery Civil War Era Officer Cloak Washington DC P B Marvin

This antique CDV captures a stoic Civil War era officer draped in a heavy, textured military cloak. The portrait was professionally composed at the Addis Gallery in Washington DC, highlighting the sharp contrast and somber mood typical of mid-19th-century photography.

The sitter, identified as P B Marvin, exudes the gravity of a nation in conflict. Collectors of 1860s militaria will value this specific Addis Gallery imprint for its connection to the capital city during the height of the war. It is a striking visual record of P B Marvin.
