This sixth-plate tintype comes with two small slips of paper that were found tucked in the case behind the image. Both slips have a similar period pencil inscription. The first reads “FRANKLIN HAYNES AUG 21, 1862. JAN 29, 1862 CO, K INDIANA VOL. AUBURN INDIANA DEKALB CO.” The second label reads just like the first but it names Andrew Haynes who was Franklin’s brother or cousin. Both men enlisted as Privates but Andrew was promoted to Corporal at some point. It is not known which soldier is pictured.

Photograph shows a clean-shaven soldier seated with one arm resting on top of a small cloth covered table next to a closed book. The subject wears a dark frock coat with brass shoulder scales, He holds his forage cap in his lap.

Image is clear with very good contrast and comes with a scalloped brass mat with scroll decoration and a similar brass frame.
