"Whipple studio portrait of Lieutenant Charles K. Cobb, Adjutant of the 32nd Massachusetts Volunteer Regiment during the Civil War." (CORBIS)
This is a possible photo of the author (my great-great-grandfather) taken in Boston ca. 1861. He would have been about 30 years old - about 6 years after the trip with Lizzy, during which the mustache would have first sprouted (see entry of 30 August 1854).
A Charles K. Cobb was stationed at Fort Warren in Boston Harbor in 1861 (*)
