Half-length albumen cabinet card portrait of a Black veteran. Period ink inscription to mount recto margin: "G.S. Wright." Modern ink inscription to verso repeats the identification. 

A fine portrait of a Black man identified as G.S. Wright wearing a Sons of Union Veterans (SUV) medal and a kepi bearing insignia associated SUV Buckley Post in Akron, Ohio. His father almost certainly served in one of the many United States Colored Troops regiments.
