TWO TINTYPES OF ID'D 4TH WI LIGHT ARTILLERYMAN. A pair of sixth-plate tintypes taken at the same sitting and identified with period ink inscriptions pinned to the pillow as "Dr. Harrison Daniel Bullard of Delevan, Wisc." showing Bullard wearing the caduceus chevrons of a hospital steward. Bullard is shown in the armed view with an M1840 NCO sword and small revolver tucked into his belt seated next to a stand draped with an American flag.
