Portraits of Named Civil War Enlisted
Men
Introduction | Confederate
Army | Union Army
Introduction
Scope of the List
This is a list of all
known photographs in the organized
collections of
the Prints & Photographs Division
that depict named Civil War soldiers
with the rank of private, corporal,
or sergeant.
- The Prints & Photographs
Division holds very few original
photographs of soldiers from these
ranks, but during the centennial
of the Civil War, the Library
of Congress made an effort to copy
photographs in private hands and
in a few public institutions.
The
list includes the images from
private collections (generally distinguishable
by the designation "copy
photograph" in the entry)
but not those copied from public
institutions.
- The Division
has
portraits
of unidentified soldiers, portraits
for which the sitter’s
rank is not known, as well as
many portraits
of officers of both high and low rank.
Such images are not included
in this
list, but
many
can be found by searching the
Prints & Photographs
Online Catalog, especially
the Civil
War Photographs and
Brady-Handy collections.
- As additional
portraits of named enlisted
men are found
in the Prints & Photographs
Division collections, they will
be added to
this list.

that hold portraits of enlisted men,

Rights and Restrictions
There are no known restrictions
on the publication and distribution
of most of these photographs. However,
some are copies of photographs that
the Library of Congress borrowed
during the 1950s and early 1960s.
(Images with the designation "copy photograph" after the reproduction number
may fall into this category. Select
the linked reproduction number to
display the associated catalog record.
Catalog records for these images
contain
a note beginning "Copy
photo made by LC...".) After
copying, the original photographs
were returned
to their owners but the Library
did not retain a record of their
names
and addresses. In recent years,
some owners have contacted the Library
and the catalog records for these
photographs cite the owner of the
original photograph and state any
restrictions that they placed on
its
use. The Library is not aware of
any restrictions on the other images,
but is anxious to hear from individuals
or institutions that own the original
photographs or who know of their
history.
