Albumen photograph carte-de-visite of Thomas Henderson, identified as the servant of Lt. Col. C.B. Lamborne of the 15th Pennsylvania Cavalry. Henderson is depicted seated, visible from the waist up, and facing the camera. He is wearing a high-collared jacket with center buttons and a hat with an upward brim.
