A three-quarters length seated studio portrait of Union Second Lieutenant William H. Lyman of the 22nd Colored Infantry Regiment, turned very slightly to the left. Lyman is resting his right arm on a side table, and his left hand in his lap. He has bushy muttonchops, but is otherwise clean-shaven. "B.F. Evans, No. 14 Main Street, Norfolk, Va." is stamped in black on the verso. There is a green three cent stamp with a portrait of George Washington attached to the verso upside down. Title from verso, below inscription reading "Yours very truly". "March 1865" is written across the stamp.
