An unusual tintype showing a pair of heavy Columbiad seacoast guns, possibly banded, fixed in an unknown coastal fortification. The pivot carriages are constructed of iron rather than wood.

Standing at right is a field grade officer wearing a double-breasted frock coat along with two enlisted men.
