He is sporting a full Shenandoah beard (sometimes called a sideburn-connected chin curtain or spade beard) paired with a completely clean-shaven upper lip. While full beards with mustaches were incredibly common during the Civil War, the distinct choice to shave the mustache while growing a thick, sculpted jawline beard peaked massively between 1861 and 1865.       In his right hand, he holds an early style of the bowler hat (derby). The 1860s bowler has a noticeably lower, more distinctively rounded, dome-like crown and a much flatter brim. It was just starting to gain widespread traction as a stylish, informal alternative to the traditional silk top hat. -sent in top loader Condition: Used.
