This is a albumen CDV portrait of a boy abiut 4 years old. He is on verso, but the writing is very difficult to make out. It seems to say "Uncle Henry (perhaps Benny) from Eddie S?. O'Bane? Hopefully HBC readers will have some insight as to the actual name. More clear is that the CDV is dated May 1865, at the vert end of the Civil War. The portrait was made by T. A. Beach of Delaware, Ohio. The Federal Revenue stamp has been removed, Henry wears a dress with diamond patterns, We do not know whay yhje color was. There looks to be white and back trim abnd a black waistband. The dress has colored band. Henry seems to be wearing pantalettes made in the same material as the dress. He has stripped stockings. His hair is very thick, but worn short. The dated CDV is useful to help build understand the chronology of CDV mounts.
