The original glass plate at the Library of Congress: https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2018670319/. They date it "between 1860 and 1862". According to User:GELongstreet (posted on the talk page of the Wikipedia article about Johnston): It is a U.S. Army uniform though of course many Confederates wore those in the early days (and of course he had been a U.S. Army officer). I should note however that this is not a genuine photography as parts like the uniform are drawn. Those collages were very common and in relation to civil war officers there are countless drawn with uniforms or ranks they never wore, also collages that put the heads on a different body (be it drawn or photographed) were made. Johnston for example never hold a rank with a two-star insignia (except in the Texian Army in the 1830s). |

The University of Washington Library says "Seattle", but Wikipedia's article about him doesn't indicate him ever setting foot in the Pacific Northwest, and accounts him being in California at the start of the Civil War and then going back east, where he died in the Battle of Shiloh in 1862. We have no evidence of there being even one professional photographer in Seattle at any time he could have been there, and this looks like a studio portrait. Librarian Susan Fitch has written back, "Definitely an error. These were photographs collected by a Tacoma family. The collection contains several Civil War portraits, mostly by Kentucky photographers. So most likely this portrait was taken in Kentucky, but since we don't know for sure, I must leave it at United States. And it appears that processor didn't research the individual portrait subjects to determine dates." |
