Alonzo H. Sterrett, Late Adjutant, Fortieth Infantry July 27, 1865. Trick double-portrait. By Hall & Company's Photograph Gallery

---

Alonzo Sterrett was twenty in 1861, when he enlisted in the Twenty-ninth Ohio Volunteer Infantry. He served for four years, becoming a lieutenant by war’s end, when he sat for this trick double-portrait. This carte de visite bears one likeness of his present circumstances and one of his recent past. At left he poses casually in an unbuttoned jacket as a civilian; at right, wearing his old officer’s frock coat, he poses formally as the late adjutant of the Fortieth United States Colored Infantry. He had mustered out of service six weeks earlier.
