The Metropolitan Museum of Art has just acquired this Civil War-era carte de visite of a Union soldier (shown here with verso). It will be included in the exhibition “Photography and the American Civil War,” which opens Tuesday at the Met.

Jeff Rosenheim, the curator of the exhibition and the author of the book that accompanies it, is the lead guest on this week’s Modern Art Notes Podcast.
