Gen Meade U.S.A.

c.1846, age 21 and clean shaven. Detail of a daguerreotype

CDV by Silsbee & Case & Co.,Boston. c.1855. George M. Silsbee & J.G. Case operated in the 1850s-1860s in Boston. Probably in his mid thirties or so here. Still in curls but with a shorter cut. A striking photo of John Fulton Reynolds c.1850s. See blog page for more thoughts on this Silsbee & Case image. See also facial recognition videos linked here (scroll to bottom) in Reynolds Gallery.

Note his usual side part is still on his left, however daguerreotypes are reversed images, so it appears to us it’s on his right, our left looking at it. See my blog for more on this image
