Continued from Gallery description of Detail of ‘Captain’ Meade TOPOGS photo…..

Gen. Meade was a man whose weight fluctuated throughout his life, during times of illness and later from war wounds sustained during the Civil War. There is a marked weight loss seen from this 1860 photo as Captain to his war time photos as Gen. Meade. This weight loss and recovery to a more robust constitution, happened several times in his life.
