Figure 1.-- We like to use nice clear photographs in our site, but sometimes we find interesing images that we use even though the image is of poor country. The boy in this studio CDV is Johhny Blood. It is not dated, but the CDB format, clothing and flag all uggest it was taken during or right after the Civil War. We cannot make out the studio and city, but is clearly some where in the North. It is difficult to make out what he is wearing, but it looks like a light-colored knee pants suit and white long stockings. He seems to have a military sash with a star, unusually worn in the front rather than a the side. We think he is holding a canteen, but are not sure. Note the flag with the star fomation in the blue field.
