Exceptional Carte de Visite (CDV) of a Wounded Union Soldier Photographed by Miller & Rowell, Boston, Massachusetts
 
This remarkable carte de visite portrays a wounded Federal soldier in a striking and poignant manner. The subject is shown with the side of his head closely shaved (likely for surgical treatment or wound care), clearly evidencing a head injury sustained in service. The visible wound and medical intervention add significant historical and emotional weight to the image, making it a rare and compelling example of Civil War medical photography and personal sacrifice.
