Captain Jesse Sharpe Barnes, age 19 c. 1861-2. Barnes was killed on May 31 at Seven Pines, VA.
The left portrait of Confederate Captain Barnes is in the Civil War collection of the Library of Congress. The portrait on the right was found by a collector in an antique shop in 1992, and it wasn&amp;#8217;t until the LOC put their images on Flickr in 2009 that the two were recognized as being the same person.&nbsp;
Notice that Barnes is wearing the exact same grey coat in each picture, just in a different style. Presumably, the right picture was taken second, after the coat had seen a few battles and Sharpe grew a war-ready moustache. What do you think?
Captain Jesse Sharpe Barnes is also one of the featured faces on the 2013 My Daguerreotype Boyfriend calendar, available for purchase.&nbsp;
