I love the faces in this photo with all their individual expressions and characters, so I downloaded the 86 megabyte version and zoomed in on some of the individuals.
The tall fellow in the center caught my attention first. . .
. . .then I noticed this determined man near him.
Others look warily at the camera. . .
. . .while others seem more relaxed. . .
. . .or even a bit amused at what's probably their first photo shoot.
The Library of Congress has thousands of hi-res images of the Civil War and other periods. Check them out to see some faces from the past!
They look ready to fight.
ReplyDeleteThe faces of soldiers tell a lot about their experience and their intent.
